Only a fraction of the resources generally available on the Internet would be considered inappropriate for children. Some Internet Service Providers can block access to them. Local filtering software is also available. Products like the Netpilot from Equiinet have the ability to locally filter undesirable sites. Parents and teachers must supervise young children who are using the Internet.
Teachers can encourage children to be critical thinkers and users of the Internet.
Produce an acceptable use policy which pupils must adhere to in order to be allowed access to the Internet and parents should be made aware of the issues and solutions. Please refer to the Internet Use Policy developed by us and Welford and Wickham Primary School.
