First phone for kids – we’re here to help
We asked parents and carers about the challenges they’ve faced setting online safety rules and controls to keep their children safe online. We found that only half of them had set up safety controls before handing their children their first phone, so we’re here to help.
Together with Internet Matters, we’ve rounded up some simple steps you can take to make sure you’re setting your child’s phone up so they can swipe, surf and scroll safely.

We’re giving you a little help to stay safe online, together with Internet Matters
In February, we were proud to sponsor Safer Internet Day. This event shines a light on the global campaign and has an amazing impact, reaching more young people across the UK than ever before.
Recent data shows that an impressive 53% of children aged 8-17 were aware of the day’s significance, and 32% of parents and caregivers also recognized its importance.
As part of this sponsorship, our colleagues will participate in an online engagement session led by Childnet’s specialist education team, delving deeper into effective ways to support young people’s online experiences.
