Dear families,
This month's online safety newsletter will enable you to understand age ratings on games, which is an important part of keeping children safe online. These ratings, such as PEGI in the UK, are designed to guide parents on whether a game’s content is suitable for different ages. They take into account factors like violence, language, and online interactions. However, it’s also important to look beyond the number on the box—many games include features like in‑game chat, user‑generated content, or purchases that may not be obvious from the age rating alone. Taking a few minutes to check reviews, look at gameplay videos, or try the game yourself can help you decide if it’s right for your child and open up conversations about how they can play safely.
