Keeping children happy and safe online during COVID-19
Many UK schools are closed, or running at a reduced capacity as a result of COVID-19. Due to this, many children and young people have increased their use of technology to keep in touch with friends, to entertain themselves, or to try to keep up with their learning. In addition, many parents are teaching their children with online learning. Here are lots of useful resources and tools that you as a parent or carer can use to help ensure that your child is safe and happy online
