If the children and young people in your care have mobile phones, do you know about the parental controls you can utilise? Mobile phone providers offer free features that can protect children and young people from material that is not suitable for younger audiences.

On the Safer Schools NI App, you can visit a dedicated ‘Device Safe’ page that covers specific mobile providers with parental controls available, how to activate them and links to resources to inform your decision on what your child can and cannot access on their mobile.
