• Roblox

  Thu 22 Jan 2026

  Roblox is a popular online gaming platform where children can play games created by other users and design their own games. It encourages creativity, problem-solving, and basic coding skills, and many children enjoy using it to play with friends.

  However, as Roblox is an online, multiplayer platform, it is important for parents and carers to be aware of potential risks. These can include in-game purchases, chat features that allow communication with others, and exposure to content created by users of varying ages.

  We recommend that:

  • Children use Roblox with adult supervision

  • Parental controls and privacy settings are enabled

  • Chat functions are restricted where appropriate

  • Parents regularly talk with children about online safety and respectful behaviour

  Roblox has an age rating of 7+, but suitability can vary depending on how the platform is used. Working together, we can help children enjoy online games safely and responsibly.
