How Can I Reinforce The Online Safety Message With My Child?

VizWoz is a safe and secure site but from time to time your child may visit sites that are far less secure and where they may be exposed to a range of potential dangers and hazards.

With this in mind please encourage your child:

• To share their online experiences with you and to talk about what they have been doing. Take an interest in what they are doing and what other sites they are visiting.
• To use the computer in an open space in the family home such as the kitchen or living room
• Not to share their account details such as passwords with other users.
• Never to arrange meetings with people they chat to online
• Never to share information that could identify them in real life, such as their full name, address, phone number, email or school they attend

At VizWoz.com we put your child's safety first and this is why we charge a small subscription to the site, to ensure that the very safest and secure online experience is available for your child.
