Dear families, 

As we approach the summer holidays, we know that many young people will be spending more time online—whether that is gaming, using social media, or staying in touch with friends.

While this can be a positive way to relax and connect, increased screen time can also bring additional risks. These can include exposure to inappropriate content, contact from people they do not know, online scams, and unmoderated group chats.

We would like to take this opportunity to remind families of a few simple but important steps to help keep children safe online over the summer.
