Now more than ever because of the ever-changing technological world that we live in, it is essential that we equip our children with the knowledge and skills to ensure that they know how to use the internet safely.

Each week, we will be sharing an age-appropriate guide for parents to share with their child when having conversations about online safety, should they feel it is needed.

This week’s guide is about Roblox. Roblox is one of the most popular video games on the market. By 2020, the game’s makers were claiming that more than half of children in the USA play it. As a ‘sandbox’ title, Roblox offers a huge amount of creative freedom: it lets players create their own gaming experiences with the Roblox Studio to build custom levels and games, which can then be shared with other players online. Roblox fosters creative thinking and enjoys a robust online community of fans.

In the guide, you’ll find tips on a number of potential risks such as online daters, in-app purchases and contact with strangers.
