At Holy Family Parish, Doveton, we hold the care, safety and wellbeing of children and young people as a central and fundamental responsibility of our parish.

The eSafety Commissioner has recently published a free e-book resource ‘Online safety for grandparents and carers’ which provides advice about online safety issues that children and young people may experience. This resource provides “key advice about online safety issues that can affect children and young people” including practical tips to help grandparents and carers to talk about these issues with children and young people and manage them. Helpful topics include: setting up devices safely; managing time online; preventing unsafe contact from strangers as well as a guide to some of the most popular sites and apps.
Grandparents and carers can order a hard copy or download and view the resource online:
