What Parents Need to Know About Games Consoles
Published 10th September 2020
A free online safety guide on games consoles.
Much like a television allows you to watch movies or a radio allows you to listen to music, a game console allows you to play video games. The most modern ones are names you might be familiar with – Sony PlayStation, Microsoft Xbox, and Nintendo Switch – and almost all of them can now connect to the internet and be enjoyed online with friends.
In the guide, you'll find tips on a number of potential risks such as the addictive nature of games consoles, inappropriate online content and online chat.
