An updated version of Thinkuknow, the child internet safety website for parents and carers, is now live at www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents.
The new site is still in a trial period. It offers a completely refreshed suite of articles and guidance on all aspects of child internet safety. Please do have a look around the new site. You might also help by completing the user survey (this appears as a pop up when you visit) – your comments and ideas will help shape the final content and improve resources and support to families.
Families can visit www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents to access advice and support on how to keep children safe from sexual abuse, both online and off. Articles provide guidance on topics as diverse as:
- challenging harmful sexual attitudes and promoting positive behaviours;
- helping a child with autism negotiate life online;
- supporting a child who has been sexually abused; and
- dealing with a range of online issues such as sending nude selfies and viewing pornography.
Users will find films, downloadable guides and useful links to support organisations. Families can also use the website to access the CEOP Safety Centre where they can report abuse and exploitation direct to Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP).
