Helping our children to stay safe online: ROBLOX

This term I’ll be sharing some of the top research tips around how to keep your child safe online. I’d love to hear from you about resources or websites so please reach out if you have any suggestions cbergen@stpaulba.sa.edu.au 

The Carly Ryan foundation https://www.carlyryanfoundation.com/ is an amazing South Australian based organisation which provides online safety, cyberbullying and proactive strategies to help our young people navigate the online space.

Attached is a fact sheet about Roblox:

Some key takeaways:

• The age rating in the App store is 8+
• Roblox is open to all ages and the purpose of the game is for players to communicate with each other
• The attached PDF outlines a step-by-step process of how to report unsafe behaviour
• There is also detailed instructions on the fact sheet of how to block a user

Ongoing monitoring and questioning ensures your children are using apps like Roblox safely and communicating with known friends.
