Parent Comments

"We don't have that sort of trouble around here"  a quote from a parent asked about their awareness of online safety issues concerning their children.

"My son knows only to visit the websites I tell him to"  a quote from a parent asked about the sites their 8 year old child visited whilst unsupervised.

" I don't want to know what she's saying online, it would probably scare me" a quote from a parent in response to our survey on parental supervision online.

Webmaster comments - Kidshield is committed to educating adults about the dangers their children can face online.  Most parents within the UK are unaware of the scale of the problems which unsupervised internet access can bring. 

Cyber-bullying, online grooming, predators and unwanted sexual chat are just a few of the issues your children can be faced with - each and every time they log on to the Internet. 

With most UK Schools basing  a large proportion of the homework curriculum on Internet Research topics we urge you to educate your children to the dangers they can face online and install parental filtering software.  If you need help or advice please contact us.
