We recognise the ever-evolving and crucial need to ensure the safety of children online. Navigating the dynamic landscape of the internet, which is constantly evolving, can pose challenges. Rest assured, we are here to provide assistance by offering parents and caregivers valuable advice along with essential tools for promoting 'Online Safety’.

Are parents & caregivers aware of children’s over exposure to explicit material online, whether violent or sexual in nature?

Are they aware of the process of desensitisation to such content, and the harmful influence this can have on forming unhealthy views of relationships, sex, & self-identity?

We inform parents and carers about this, furthermore advising how to protect children from such content online.

The normalisation of bullying, harassment, and exploitative behaviours among children and young people is a concerning trend. In many instances, their actions, whether online or offline, may inadvertently constitute criminal behavior. The perception of such actions as mere 'jokes' or 'banter' further complicates the understanding of the potential legal implications.

We raise awareness to prevent children from engaging in such behaviors as many of them don't realise how serious it can be.

Frequently, parents and caregivers encounter challenges in effectively communicating with their children. This difficulty not only hinders the ability to safeguard appropriately but can also strain relationships. By delving into the concept of 'Love Languages,' we can assist in navigating styles of expressing care and communication. This understanding aims to foster safer and healthier relationships and home environment.

In the ever-evolving landscape of online communication among young people—where they connect with new individuals, share photos and videos, and engage in chat rooms, and online gaming—navigating the boundaries of appropriateness can prove challenging. The line between what is acceptable and what may constitute a crime or an incident worth reporting is increasingly blurred. This is especially true in the context of concerns such as exploitation, grooming, and the sharing of inappropriate imagery…

…we aim to empower parents and caregivers with valuable insights into the relevant legislation governing online activities. We provide guidance on recognising potential risks and reporting incidents.

By providing this knowledge, we strive to create a safer digital environment for young individuals, ensuring that online interactions align with legal standards and foster a secure online and offline community.

Child Exploitation and ‘The Grooming Process” can happen quietly, making it hard for parents and caregivers to notice until it's too late—whether online or offline. We share practical insights from our hands-on experience with victims and survivors of exploitation to help caregivers spot the signs early. By discussing indicators that may signal a child is ‘at risk’ or ‘being targeted’, we empower caregivers to act sooner, creating a safer environment for children and families.

We recognise that discussing sensitive topics, like those covered by The SLLP, can be challenging for parents and caregivers to have with children, especially given the added complexity of digital devices in today's world. We therefore offer support by providing practical advice and tools to help overcome some of these communication challenges.
