Searching

Search engines can make our lives easier. They make sense of the chaos of the web, linking us to the sites we need, when we need them. Google, Bing and Yahoo are all search engines and some of the most visited sites in the world.

With a world of information at their fingertips, it’s easy for children to stumble across things that might upset or disturb them. They might also come across sites which aren’t suitable for their age.

Remember, this can happen by accident and, while most parents and carers trust their children online, children are naturally curious. They may search ‘rude’ words, without thinking about the results they might get.

A simple way to help stop your child seeing things they shouldn’t is to change the ‘search settings’ on search engines. These aim to prevent the search engine bringing up results which might not be suitable for children.

Note: No filter is 100% accurate and sometimes content slips through the net. Ensure that your child knows to come and tell you if they see something that upsets them.
