Celebrating National Safety Internet Day
It takes a whole family to be safe online.
A family tech agreement is a set of rules about how devices, like smartphones, tablets, computers, TVs and gaming consoles are used in your home. It is written down and agreed to by all family members and kept in a place where everyone can see it (such as on the fridge).
This agreement is designed to help your family have a smoother time around technology in your home and promote safer online experiences.
Attached is a sample of a family tech agreement. It is important for parents and carers to agree to some of the rules, as how you use technology provides a model for children to follow. You can also decide which rules are appropriate for children of different ages.
