This Week: Helping Young People Stay Safe on Roblox

Roblox is a platform many of our young people enjoy. It’s creative, social, and full of opportunities to play and connect, but it also brings challenges that are worth exploring together. There’s no set minimum age, and players often share spaces with much older users. Features like chat and voice chat mean experiences can vary widely.

 

Rather than relying on advice like “just be sensible,” we can create space for open, curious conversations that help young people feel supported and understood.

 

Questions you might ask:

What games do you enjoy most?

Do you chat with other players? Who can message you?

Have you ever seen anything that worried or upset you?

Do you play in private servers or public spaces?

Do you know when real money is involved in the game?

 

Practical ways to support:

Show interest, watch or play alongside them

Agree clear rules around spending

Reassure them they can tell you if something feels wrong

Help them learn how to block and report calmly

Use safety settings and age-appropriate controls

Online safety starts with conversations, not restrictions. Together, we can help young people enjoy gaming in a way that feels safe and supported.
