Vodafone Ireland is helping parents to tackle the issue of online safety for children with a new portal that will provide information and resources to help parents keep their children safe on the internet. The Digital Parenting Portal offers advice for parents, guardians and carers on how to broach online safety with their children and what they should be looking out for in terms of potential problems. Vodafone’s new portal joins a number of other tools aimed at parents and guardians who may need help with tackling the issue of online bullying. Children’s charity Barnardos offers workshops on internet safety and cyberbullying, along with downloadable reseources for parents on online bullying. Vodafone’s online portal also links to the ISPCC’s parent hub, and organisations such as Webwise and Cyber Safe Ireland are also involved in programmes to help educate young people and parents about the risks of being online.
