Gaming : a video guide for parents and carers

Here are some supportive videos because while playing games online is often great fun, it's important you understand why your children will chat online, what risks there are and what measures you can take to protect them while they’re playing their favourite games.  Think You Know's new video guide and accompanying article, developed in collaboration with The Association for UK Interactive Entertainment (Ukie), helps parents and carers to understand:

• How in-game chat works;
• How it might be abused by others, and;
• What they can do to help keep their children safe whilst using in-game chat
