Protecting children from online pornography

Many parents worry about their children accidentally stumbling across pornography online and the impact it might cause. It can be a tricky topic to talk about too. 

At Internet Matters you can get advice on what conversations to have with your child and what controls to set to prepare and protect them from seeing this type of content online.

Top tips from Internet Matters

Advice on child-proofing your phones and tablets

Parental controls

Use the security settings on your device to set restrictions on what can be downloaded, so your child is only able to access age-appropriate apps and games.

Location services

Location services are often turned on automatically on devices, so make sure they're disabled for your child. This will ensure they don't unintentionally share their location with others.

Password protected

Make sure you set up password controls and disable in-app purchasing, which can be done in your device settings. This will ensure huge bills aren't run up accidentally.

Age-appropriate content

Talk to your child about their online use regularly and check that they are downloading age-appropriate apps and games
