Keeping your kids safe on their iPod Touches, iPads and iPhones

Monday, 12 November, 9:15am - 10:30am in the Library

Do you know if your children are safely using their iPod Touch, iPad or iPhone?  Can they access websites, apps and features that are not really appropriate for their age?

Come along to this one-hour session to find out essential information for all parents whose primary and early secondary school children have any of these devices.

Tell your friends!  All parents should be armed with this information. 
At this interactive, informative session, we will address the specifics of how to set up parental controls on Apple Mobile devices - in particular, how to use the great new Screen Time features that arrived in September 2018 as part of iOS 12.

  • How parents can set up a ‘downtime’ schedule when the device’s apps will become unavailable.
  • How to specify limits on how much time your child spends on categories of apps and/or specific apps.
  • A look at the informative reports describing your child’s use of the device.
  • Content and Privacy Restrictions - to manage what the child can and can’t use on the device, and what apps can access their location, contacts.
  • How to ensure that the child can't access ‘adult’ websites and can’t clear their browsing history, or browse ‘privately’.
  • How to prevent accidental spending. 
  • How to stop your child from changing their device passcode without permission.

​We will also touch on the following topics:
  • iCloud/Apple accounts in a family and how to avoid a mixed up mess of devices using the same iCloud.
  • Setting up something called an iCloud Family to remotely manage the parental controls on your child’s device/s. 
  • How to restrict Youtube content.
  • How to lock a child into an app and set a time limit.
  • Passwords and what your child may be able to access if they know your own device's password
