E-Safety

Staying safe online is a high priority to all of us. The world is evolving with new technologies and applications (apps), transforming the way in which we communicate around the world, play games, shop, pay bills, manage our household appliances and much more. However at the same time, it is important that as parents, we can stay in touch with the latest trends and know where we can go to seek advice on what our children are doing online.

Safer search engines for children
