It can be a very powerful research tool for new school projects. Unfortunately, it can also bring lots of risks and concerns along with it. It is key that we teach our children how to remain safe when browsing the web, aware of the dangers that can occur and who to turn to when they are worried. Below, we have put together a list of resources that will help parents do all they can to ensure that their child avoids these risks.
