Online Safety – 23/10/25 – Roblox

A new report has highlighted serious safety concerns with the popular online game Roblox, which is used by many primary-aged children. Subsequently, child safety campaigners have urged the UK communications watchdog to make a change in online safety laws. Although the game appears child-friendly, researchers found evidence of pornography and predators targeting children. Cases of grooming and even the kidnapping of an 11-year-old girl in the US through Roblox have also been reported. It is vital that if your child is using Roblox, you have had a conversation with them about how to use it safely and that they are supervised. You can also teach your children how to block and report users and content and encourage them to talk to a trusted adult if they encounter anything upsetting.
