Being a parent in 2025 can be really tough. Balancing your child’s independence with their online safety isn’t easy, especially with so many social media platforms, each with different rules and settings.
That’s why The Children's Society have created Social Media Safety: a guide for parents and carers, so you can keep your child safe whilst still allowing them to use the internet.
Our guide has been developed with parents in mind, giving you expert advice that will allow you to understand the parental controls on a number of different social media sites that your child might use.
We've collated into one easy-to-follow guide, so you have all of the information you need in one place.
Key benefits of the guide include:
- Expert advice tailored for parents in 2025
- Step-by-step parental controls
- Platform-specific safety tips
- Easy to read
- Free to download
All you need to do is fill in the form, and we'll send it to you straight away. So you can stay informed, and your child can stay safe.
