Internet Safety Website

The Know IT All for Parents and Carers presentation highlights the gap that exists between children’s real experience online and adult awareness of these experiences. The presentation contains information about positive ways young people are using different technologies, what the risks are to users and it outlines practical advice in avoiding or minimising risks when using online and mobile technologies. If you have only recently started using the internet and need help with the basics, don’t worry – there is a special section for you called New to Computers. Also, if you haven’t got the time to look at all the material on this CD-ROM, there is a Quick Overview which gives you a summary of the content. This section has been translated into Arabic, Bengali, Gujarati, Mandarin, Polish, Punjabi, Urdu and British Sign Language.
