Campaigning for change

We fight to change laws to make society safer for children. Our Wild West Web campaign has pushed for new regulations through the Online Safety Bill to make sure websites, apps and games are safe for children to use. But the draft Bill doesn't go far enough to protect children.
Help us end the Wild West Web

The Band Runner game
Featuring characters and safety messages from the CEOP Education Play Like Share films, Band Runner is a fun game that puts children's knowledge about online safety to the test by asking them to help characters make safer choices.

Players can choose to play the game as characters Ellie or Sam who use their guitars to eliminate all obstacles in their path as they run through school in order to make it to their next gig. If players miss a jump or take a tumble they then need to help Alfie solve an online safety dilemma to be able to continue play. As players pass to the next level, the running gets faster!
The CEOP Education website for 8-10 year olds
The Band Runner game can be found on our informative 8-10's website which also provides clear and practical safety advice under the following headings:

Play - Playing games online

Like - Being kind to others online

Share - Sharing videos and photos online

Chat - Talking to others online

Lock - Keeping information private

Explore - Exploring the internet

The website also has a 'Worried about something' section offering advice and support to children who are feeling worried, scared or upset about something which has happened online.

You can watch the Play Like Share animations together with your child by clicking 'Watch' in the main menu of the Thinkuknow website for 8-10 year olds. If your child has watched Play Like Share in school, rewatching them again with you can be a great way to start a conversation about what they're learning about staying safe online.

How can going online affect our wellbeing?

There are lots of positives for children being online, however there can be negatives too. For some it can become overwhelming trying to keep up with friends, and the pressure can mount.

Many things can impact our online wellbeing, and you can take control of the choices made to reduce any negativity. Being aware of the impact of being online, just like you would be aware of the impact of offline activities, is the first step to managing your children's online wellbeing.

We can:

manage the content that our children see,

ensure interactions are suitable

and manage how long they're online, in balance with other activities.

There are several things you can do to help support a child with their wellbeing online, including specific apps, and looking at settings.

Advice and resources to help talk about life online

Advice and resources to help talk about life online

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A simple and effective way to get involved with your children and their lives online is through discussion. By maintaining an open dialogue with your child and encouraging them to talk to you about their internet use parents can help children access the amazing resources the internet has to offer whilst keeping them safe online.

Conversation starter ideas

1. Ask your children to tell you about the sites they like to visit and what they enjoy doing online.

2. Ask them about how they stay safe online. What tips do they have for you, and where did they learn them? What is OK and not OK to share?

3. Ask them if they know where to go for help, where to find the safety advice, privacy settings and how to report or block on the services they use.

4. Encourage them to help. Perhaps they can show you how to do something better online or they might have a friend who would benefit from their help and support.

5. Think about how you use the internet as a family. What could you do to get more out of the internet together and further enjoy your lives online?

Resources to help start the conversation

Our family agreement provides a framework that will help families set clear expectations for positive and safe internet use.

Let's Talk About Life Online is a short leaflet for parents and carers designed to support productive and postive conversations.

Talking about difficult topics

Often children and young people can see the internet as a source of information and knowledge when they have important questions about their lives, bodies and the world around them and their internet use can raise the need to have a conversation about some very difficult topics.

We understand that talking about these issues can be a daunting prospect for many parents but it is important to remember that you are the best people for your children to talk to. Below you can find links to some great organisations with more advice on how to tackle these difficult topics.
