Internet Safety

 Resources - Free Advice In Print

This page lists useful free publications about internet safety, and details where you can get them from.

As we mentioned in our introduction, not all households have computers that can connect to the internet, but ALL CHILDREN CAN ACCESS THE INTERNET, so advice in print can have advantages over on-line resources.

A 'reference copy' of each is available in our Church for you to preview.

 1) Keep Your Child Safe On The Internet

This excellent new booklet (January 2004) is published by the Home Office Communication Directorate.

Packed full of straightforward advice, it is easy to understand and is an ideal starting point for parents and carers who want to know more about internet safety. It covers the following areas:

• What can my child do on the internet?
• What are the risks?
• What do I need to know about on-line friends?
• Can I block unsuitable material?
• Action checklist
• How can I find out more?
• Jargon buster

The back page also has a useful tear-off section detailing 'Top Tips For Staying Safe' and 'Places To Go For Help And Advice'
