Parents and carers encouraged to improve online gaming safety
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.
