Keeping children safe online

Not locking everything down, but knowing what is there and where to set it.

What you notice

  • You do not want your child reaching everything.
  • There is still playing or watching at night.
  • Something was bought in a game without you knowing.
  • You want to know which apps are installed.
  • Your child gets messages from people you do not know.

What we do about it

We set what suits the age: screen time, what may be installed, and whether purchases are possible. Without making the device useless, because then a child simply works around it.

We show you where to adjust it yourself. Children get older and those settings should grow with them; we do not need to come back each time.

If it is about unwanted contact or bullying, that is a different matter from settings. We have a separate page about investigation and preservation.

We prefer to talk with you and your child together. Settings made in secret rarely last.

Tell us what you are seeing. We will take it from there.
