Keep kids safe online

The internet is brilliant, there's no denying that (where would sofeminine be without it?)

But for every excellent, child-friendly site, there's a dodgy site that you don't want your kids viewing. So it can be pretty hard to keep kids safe online.

In a few clicks, your kids could be looking at content that no child should, or could even end up talking to people they don't know.

Of course you want to let your kids explore the internet and learn how to use it safely, but you also want to keep your kids safe online and protected from sites that are inappropriate.

After all, you don't want to be peering over their shoulder every time they log on for a quick look at Club Penguin or Moshi Monsters.

To make matters even more complicated, most mobile phones now have access to the internet. You'd do serious damage to your child's street cred if you insisted on watching them every time they picked up their mobile.

But what measures can you take to ensure your children can browse the web safely?

We spoke to Simon Ellson, the mobile security expert from Norton and Andrew Wild, Chief Security Officer of Cybersecurity, to get his top tips on keeping kids safe online.
