Sort Your Settings

We know some children and families are lucky enough to be getting new digital devices over the Christmas period and we want to take this opportunity to make sure families know how to enjoy these devices safely. The VVU is supporting Essex Police’s Sort Your Settings campaign which wants to make sure parents and carers know that by taking a few simple actions when buying new devices – enabling parental controls, checking privacy settings, and respecting age ratings – they can help their families enjoy accessing the internet safely.

Advice, guidance and bespoke instructions for different Apps and platforms can be found at Sort Your Settings.

Let’s all do our best to protect our children online and make the online world a safer one.
