Parents and carers encouraged to improve online gaming safety

Ofcom’s Power Up Parents campaign provides practical advice and resources to help families keep children safe while gaming online.
21 October 2026

Ofcom is urging parents and carers to spend 5 minutes taking 3 simple actions to help children enjoy online gaming safely:

  • check your child’s account age, privacy and safety settings

  • chat about the games they play, who they play with and their online experiences

  • change any settings or habits that could improve safety and wellbeing online

Ofcom have also created activities to support conversations about healthy online gaming habits.
