Short mini webinars offering practical support to help parents and carers recognise and respond to key online harms.

Supporting children online can sometimes feel challenging, especially as the digital world continues to change.

Each mini webinar lasts around 15-20 minutes and includes practical tips, conversation starters and signposting to further support. They are suitable for parents, carers, wider family members and professionals supporting children and young people.

Topics include privacy settings and parental controls, group chats and peer pressure, online bullying, image sharing, harmful content and online grooming – covering everything from everyday online use to more serious risks.

Created by Childnet and supported by the Safeguarding Board for Northern Ireland (SBNI), the mini webinars reflect real life experiences shared by families.
