Gaming Tips for Parents

Wednesday 19 December 2018


The Christmas holidays are a time when lots of families buy new computers, tablets, phones and consoles with new games for the family. Here are some handy tips for keeping the family safe when playing games and going online this Christmas:


  • Ensure new games have an appropriate PEGI rating for whoever will be playing them. You can check a new game's rating here: https://pegi.info/
  • If children are playing online games make sure they play them in a shared space at home so an adult can hear or see exactly what they are playing.
  • Limit the time everyone is using their screens, there are plenty of other games that you can play as a family, that are not on screens!

Have a wonderful holiday and stay safe online this Christmas!
