Online or Offline, SAME RULES APPLY.

Supported by the HSE and Accenture, this parental awareness campaign highlights the need to approach parenting children online in the same way we approach it offline. Would you allow your child to share personal and private information with strangers on the street?

Online or Offline, SAME RULES APPLY.

One key feature of modern day digital parenting is to ensure your child’s experiences online are as positive as they can be. With the generous support of the HSE and Accenture, CyberSafeKids bring you this updated digital parenting guide as part of our annual Same Rules Apply campaign. Filled with practical tips and useful resources, it will help steer you in the right direction and give you confidence to support your children's online lives more effectively. The most important thing we can do as parents, guardians and caregivers to guide our children safely through the online world is to develop a strong, open relationship with them, make sure we listen, and have regular conversations about what is happening in their digital lives – in other words, the exact same approach we take in the offline world!
