Keeping Safe Online
Online Safety
Supporting the wellbeing of children has never been more critical than it is right now. Parents, teachers, governments and policy makers are more focussed than ever on ensuring that children are protected from online harms.
The wellbeing outcomes of children are heavily influenced by their digital experiences. A child’s online activity, including what they view, who they interact with, and what they share can contribute to a deeply positive outcome, or pose a worrying threat to their wellbeing.
To help your child get the best from technology, we want to help parents to develop the skills and knowledge that is needed to achieve this. The Stockport Online Safety Hub , launched in September 2024, is a fabulous resource for parents and carers.

The Hub is designed to engage and align the community on online safety and wellness by providing up-to-date and evidence-based information to all key stakeholders of a child’s life.
Parents will find a rich library of helpful resources, including app reviews, how-to guides and advice on an array of online safety topics.
