NSPCC advice for keeping children safe: gaming online

What are the risks of online games?

  • Children may view inappropriate or upsetting content if they play games that aren’t suitable for their age. This could include sexual or violent material. It might be in-game content or produced by other players.
  • Some players can be abusive towards others or try to exlude them from the game. Some players may also hack another user’s account or try to steal and destroy their virtual possessions. This can be as upsetting for a young person as if it happened in real life.
  • Children may play with adults they don’t know. People of all ages play games. Some adults may exploit this and try to build an emotional connection with a child for the purpose of grooming.
  • Some children may find it hard to stop playing games or find that gaming is getting the way of them doing other activities. 

 

5 ways to help children play safe

1. Check the game’s content

2. Know how to mute, block and report

3. Be Share Aware

4. Activate safety settings

5. Keep the conversation going

Keeping children and young people safe is everyone’s responsibility. We all have a role to play in protecting children and young people from child abuse and neglect. Right now, some people do not report suspected child abuse and neglect because they’re worried about being wrong.
