    What Parents Need to Know About Google Stadia

    It’s inevitable that with children spending more time at home, there has been a surge in online gaming. In early April, Google Stadia launched the free version of its Stadia game streaming service which means every household in the UK with a wi-fi connection could potentially access a number of games online and play them free of charge. That’s why we’ve created this guide to help parents and carers understand exactly what Google Stadia is all about.

    Read on to get your free guide and to catch up on the latest online safety news.
