It’s a potentially scary online world out there isn’t it? As a parent, the prospect of all the unsavoury things that your children can be exposed to once they are online can leave you sweating bullets. Device addiction, sextortion, sharing of personal information, grooming, cyberbullying, explicit content, self-harming sites and even radicalisation in extreme cases. When it comes to how to keep your family safe online, it can all feel totally overwhelming and akin to pushing water uphill with a fork.

But as daunting as the prospect seems, as parents, the importance of understanding internet safety is not one we can afford to shy away from. The harsh reality is that an anti-virus app won’t stop our children from being cyberbullied, and parental controls don’t prevent online fraud or sextortion. But because keeping our family safe online can feel like such a formidable task, we can be tempted to do nothing at all – frozen like a deer in headlights. Sadly, hoping that none of the above will happen to us or our loved ones is not the answer.

Thankfully, all is not lost when it comes to keeping your family safe online. There’s a way you can have peace of mind, have all the knowledge you need and protect your family from the convoluted and hairy scary world the internet has seemingly become.

Introducing SimpleCyberLife.com

SimpleCyberLife.com is the world’s first membership site designed to help parents protect their families online. Think a simple, educational and practical tool which supports parents with quality advice, delivered in a consumable and enjoyable format that can be accessed at a click of a button.

When it comes to how to keep your family safe online, SimpleCyberLife.com is where it’s at. It’s the world’s first membership site designed to help parents protect their families online by:

  • Helping to protect your whole family from sextortion, grooming, identity theft and financial fraud.
  • Delivering easy-to-follow video tutorials straight to you on your sofa at home, no need to traipse into school for a dry parents talk
  • Supporting you with an SOS Centre, with simple easy-to-follow instructions on how to recover from cyber-attacks.
  • Giving you access to a Community Discussion Forum to anonymously ask internet safety experts or fellow parents any questions you want

Thanks to all of the above the site gets parents secure, helps them stay secure and then provides ongoing support direct from internet safety experts if something goes wrong.

The memberships

There are three levels of membership:

  • Free – for those computer whizzes amongst us
  • Premium – for those who need a little help getting everything in place (£3.99 per month – less than the price of a coffee!)

The beauty of ongoing support

You know the drill – you go to an internet safety talk at school, almost have a cardiac arrest thanks to all the alarming stories you hear about what can happen online and leave feeling riddled with anxiety and totally disempowered.

Now think about having your hand held through the hot mess that online life has become. That’s exactly what SimpleCyberLife.com sets out to do, against the backdrop of a supportive community. A bit like a personal trainer for the big bad wolf that is the internet.

A key part of this is the Community Discussion forum – a world first that connects parents directly with internet safety experts. It is here that you can ask experts (or other parents) anything you like without feeling sheepish, and seek out specific advice regarding particular protection items. You can discuss anything that might be troubling you all the way from more basic elements like social media privacy settings, secure browsing and educating your family all the way up to Two Factor Authentication and Encrypted Storage. The perfect place to come to at times when you need support.

How can you sign up?

The site officially launched yesterday and there is a launch discount available until Sunday 9th Feb 9pm. During beta testing, the platform helped a young girl recover her social media accounts, which were hacked by a school bully. Now if that’s not proof in the pudding, I don’t know what is!

  1. Keeping our children safe online is something I worry about a lot, so it is reassuring to know that there are services out there to help! It gives such a peace of mind 🙂

  2. My biggest concern about my grandchildren is potential abuse in all its’ forms by adults who should know better.

  3. Online safety is so important, I monitor my kids on their tablets and hope I’ve taught them enough to stay safe. Having simply cyber life on board is a really good idea.

  4. My kids live on the internet. But I’d like to think they are sensible enough to have picked up on all that we – and school – have told them

  5. My 7y/o rapidly becoming attached to gaming on my devices. I don’t want to stop her fun but I do limit screen time. My worry is I don’t understand enough about the content of the games/apps she likes best. It’s the associations and algorithms that worry me most, like gambling ad pop-ups or ‘watch this next’ video links on You Tube. Its not all age appropriate and needs my policing.

  6. This looks brilliant, my son has just got his first laptop but we make him use it where we can see it

  7. I constantly worry about keeping the kids safe on line as they get older and tech is getting more and more complicated. This package sounds like it could help us with the minefiled

  8. My worry is my teenage daughter accepting friend requests from people she doesn’t know and who may not be who they appear to be

  9. Internet safety is something I take seriously as a parent. I minimise what they do online and also will not let them friend anyone they don’t actually know.

  10. I really worry about keeping Monkey safe online. He seems to have developed an unhealthy YouTube habit which we are trying to reduce and remove. It is reassuring to know that there are services out there which can help to keep them safe.

  11. im always worrying about my kids online but i have taught them the dangers and what not to do so i hope that they will have learnt from the chat x

  12. I have 2 young daughters, so grooming is a big concern, trying to block certain websites, does not always work. A lot of security systems say they protect children, but really dont

  13. I have a few concerns about online safety – we talk openly and alot about this subject and im lucky my daughters school teach alot on this area but i really am concerned about cyber bullies. No matter what we teach them or trust in them we cannot control as much what other people say/do or act online and the impact it can have on others. I just hope she comes to me when someone is not being nice.

  14. I worry that although you think you’ve covered all safety areas some sights just aren’t are secure for children as we would hope. One website that worries me, partly as I don’t fully understand it is TikTok.
