kids in the
digital world

The web is a big, wide world full of fun and learning for
your kids to explore. But just like in the real world, there
are some things that as a parent or guardian you need
to watch out for. How you manage the internet in your
home is becoming a big deal for families everywhere.
That’s why alongside Web Safe - our network parental
controls tool - we have Switched on Families.
Switched on Families is about
giving you clear, honest, useful (and
sometimes even fun) support
to make sure your family gets the
best from the web.
