FREE advice about online safety is on offer to parents of Year 6 students across the island.
A copy of Digital Parenting magazine from Airtel-Vodafone has been sent home with pupils in the year group at all States schools.
It covers aspects of phone and internet safety, including setting up safe searches, dealing with inappropriate content, and creating controls via modems and home computers.
Airtel-Vodafone vice president Ian Campbell said parents were under a lot of pressure to allow their children access to the internet and mobiles. The magazine aimed to help them make sure their children were safe online.

Our children have become very knowleable and enterprising in the various fields of technology. The term ‘precotious’ comes to mind.
Maybe I am old fashioned, but having seen some of the videos listed in the Parental Guidance category I just hope they are.
Some youngsters are listed in the phone directories with their own home/mobile numbers. Others I believe, have their own web sites. Parents who encourage their young offspring in these areas of private communication strike me as totally irresponsible, and in need of a status gain.
No matter how carefully guarded, if a professional hacker can get into high places, as recently demonstrated in a now defunct rag, just imagine what the odd amateur could achieve.
