Vodafone, a key ISPCC partner, has introduced a comprehensive guide aimed at helping parents navigate the digital world and ensure their children’s online safety. Parenting in the Digital World, offers practical advice and tools for parents to manage their child’s online presence and foster healthy digital habits.

Key features include:

• SecureNet: A tool that adds an extra layer of protection, allowing parents to limit online time, block certain websites, and monitor activity across Vodafone’s network.
• Tozi App: Developed in partnership with Dublin City University’s Anti-Bullying Centre, this free app helps children aged 11-14 manage their online wellbeing and offers support in dealing with negative experiences.
• Parental Control Tips: The guide encourages the use of device-specific controls and apps like Google Family Link to monitor and manage device usage.
• Cyberbullying Awareness: Vodafone outlines the forms cyberbullying can take, including social exclusion and image-based bullying, and offers steps parents can take to address such issues.
• Guide to Popular Social Media Platforms: The resource provides a breakdown of potential risks and advice for managing apps like TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat.

This initiative reflects Vodafone’s commitment to providing tools that promote safer online environments for children, while supporting parents in making informed decisions about their child’s digital experience.
