Many parents contact us with questions about protecting their family when using the Internet. This page endeavours to provide links to useful resources. However, there is one key suggestion that many professionals agree on and that is the location of the PC. Keeping it in an area used by all the family rather than in a bedroom is considered good practice, especially for younger children.
The links are grouped according to audience but all are suitable for viewing by children.

You may care to try it alongside your existing web based mail account if you use one and decide for yourself if you prefer it

note there are many other websites and some products available,
