It\u2019s likely your children are spending more time than usual online, so we\u2019ve compiled a list of ways in which you can control the content they have access to. Hopefully, these will allow you to concentrate on what you need to do without needing to check on what they are doing quite as often. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internet Matters<\/a>\u202f is a good place to start. This not-for-profit organisation is dedicated to helping parents and carers keep children safe online and is recommended by the UK\u202fDepartment for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport<\/a>. They provide a whole range of tips and advice, but we recommend starting with their\u202fE-safety checklist<\/a>, which will help you set up their devices safely.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Windows and Mac have inbuilt parental controls that allow you to set up separate accounts for your children and manage these from your account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Windows 10 allows you to limit screen time, set age limits and block inappropriate content. You can see exactly how to set up and edit these parameters\u202fon Microsoft.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are a Mac user you can manage screen time, apps and content in a very similar way. This is all managed within your system preferences. There is a\u202fhandy guide here<\/a>\u202f with information for those using either the very latest OS or older versions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to additional parental controls there are lots of tools available (both free and paid for). Some of the most popular tools are listed below, but there are many, many more. If you have specific requirements a quick online search should bring up a solution to your needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Qustodio<\/a> 
    This tool is designed to be an easy way to supervise your children online. It\u2019s an app that you install on your child\u2019s devices that allows you to monitor their use while also filtering what they can see and do online. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Kaspersky Safe Kids<\/a> 
      This low-cost option allows you to block harmful content as well as limiting screen time and providing expert tips and advice on online topics. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Kidlogger<\/a> 
        This is a free tool that allows you to see what your children have been doing on a smartphone or tablet including how long they have been on the device and what apps they have been using. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        There are simply too many tools to list here, but we hope this will have provided a good starting point for you to understand some of the options available to help you keep your kids safe online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
