Internet Safety Guide
Your child will probably love using the internet. It can be great fun and a fantastic way to learn new and exciting things.
It can also be quite a dangerous place for your child if they are not suitably monitored. It is important that children are kept well informed about any possible dangers and that their use of the internet is monitored by their parents or carers.
The government has recently launched a new website to support parents about e-safety. The website has been developed with ParentZone and CEOP. Parent Info is a collection of articles, tips, expert advice and resources designed to help parents keep up with what their children are doing on-line.
We have also provided some links to various websites that will help you keep your child safe on the internet. We hope you find them useful.
Happy surfing!
