Internet Safety is Common Sense
-
The new Internet Green Cross Code safety advice for kids roaming the web launched with much fanfare and hand wringing in the media makes plenty of common sense. However, it is only a pity that the Government has to nanny parents into doing what any responsible adult with children should be doing as a matter of course. If you don’t keep on eye on what your children are doing then don’t be surprised if they don’t stumble over or head off themselves into the wide world of the web and all its inherent dangers that unfettered access brings.
The Learning Bubble’s own recent research study revealed that 22% parents had found their child accessing inappropriate content and a staggering 5% never monitored what their kids were watching at all! So perhaps Dr Tanya Byron and the Government are on to something after all.
