ADVICE FOR PARENTS

The Internet represents a wonderful resource for children and parents alike. The amount of information available to the home user via such a medium greatly increases the opportunities to educate and experience the global community as a whole.

Such a resource however, can expose the user to inappropriate content and information which may offend or mislead the reader. Products such as Brightfilter are designed to maximise the potential of the Internet as a resource whilst protecting its most vulnerable users. The result of over ten years of development sees a product which gives the parent the ability to protect their children whilst using the Internet and also protect the family as a whole, regardless of their age.


The government recognise the importance of the Internet as a learning tool for children, and have come up with a website detailing safe practices for Internet use.

The links below have come from the following UK Government webs
