THINKUKNOW have teamed up with Ukie (The Association for UK Interactive Entertainment) to give you advice about online games and chat.
While playing games online is often great fun, it’s important you understand why your children will chat online, what risks there are and what measures you can take to protect them while they’re playing their favourite games.
Online games are really popular amongst children. 59% of 5-15 year old’s play online games, as games like Fortnite, Minecraft and Roblox become increasingly important part of their social lives.
While playing games online is often great fun and a good way to chat, there is a chance that your children will play with people they don’t know who may use in-game chat inappropriately to expose them to harm or risk.
That’s why THINKUKNOW have put together this guide to help you understand why your children will chat online, what risks there are and what measures you can take to protect them while they’re playing their favourite games.
