Parents will always be concerned about the safety of their children online, so we’ve put together a guide to keep your children as safe as possible when they’re using the internet.

Finding a balance between wanting their children to be tech savvy while also developing social skills was a prime concern for parents, with 60% suggesting it helped their children learn new skills. “We should all be mindful of how much time we spend online and tackle the issue of excessive screen time, with parents setting a good example,” said Nick Shaw, general manager of Norton Europe.
