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

Tackle Child Abuse Campaign

Together we can tackle child abuse - the four types of child abuse

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.

Online Safety Advice for Parents

Parent Info Parent Info provides high quality information to parents and carers about their children's wellbeing and resilience. Schools can host the content on their own website and use it in any other ways (in letters to parents etc) that they want. This service is free and ranges across a wide range of subject matter, from difficult topics about sex, relationships and the internet or body image and peer pressure to broader parenting topics like ‘how much sleep do teenagers need?’ In line with CEOP’s Thinkuknow programme, some of the content covers internet safety, but it all starts from the assumption that young people make little distinction between their online and offline lives and the issues for parents are often the same. The aim is to help parents help their children be discriminating, web-literate and resilient.
