Internet safety at home can be a major concern for parents. Keeping children safe online should be a top priority when allowing access to the internet. Educate your children about the dangers and why we have specific rules is more effective than just try and block everything.
Here you will find information and links to websites that will help inform you and your children about cyber safety. Netsafe New Zealand is also an excellent resource that will support families with any cyber safety questions you might have!
