PARENTS - Privacy of information online is an area which is growing and growing, but it can also feel overwhelming. The UK Information Commissioner has created a great new portal for parents and caregivers giving support and advice around online privacy with sections on explaining privacy to children, choosing privacy settings, advice on how to start a conversation, case studies and more.

Kids vs Grown-ups: what we really share online Our campaign videos show that children’s online privacy isn’t just about parental controls, screen time limits or privacy settings. It’s about trust, listening and recognising that everyone is learning together.

Many parents don't know that there are features within both YouTube and the YouTube Kids app.

Google have now released another feature, specifically this allows a parent to set up a Supervised Experience account on the parents device.
This is important because many younger children will watch YouTube videos on their parents device, where it is likely there are no restrictions in place. So this new feature is a welcome addition.

YouTube Parental Settings This week there are links to the new LGfL AI policy toolkit, an new report about unhealthy influences, Instagram parent alerts and more.
