Internet Matters

Practical guides to parental controls, screen time and keeping children safe on every device and app.

Internet Matters, backed by major UK broadband providers, offers step-by-step guides to setting parental controls on broadband, phones, tablets, gaming consoles and social media apps - organised by age group and by app, so guidance stays current.

Beyond the technical setup, it covers the conversations that matter: talking to children about what they see online, social media age limits, gaming pressures and where to go if something goes wrong.

How families can use it: start with the 'set up safe controls' checker for your family's devices, then use their conversation starters before difficult subjects. If something online has upset your child, their report-and-recover guides show exactly what to do next.
