Child Online Protection – the aims of policy

Several of these devices are highly portable and it is therefore no longer practical to rely solely on a parent or teacher being able to support or supervise a child’s or a young person’s internet usage at all times. Moreover as children and young people start to grow up, as their capacities evolve and they go through different phases of their life so their need for support and supervision from a parent or a teacher will change. Very little in life is ever 100% safe or certain 100% of the time. The internet is most definitely no exception. The technology continues to develop and change. At a technical level all possible reasonable steps should be taken to protect children and young people from age inappropriate and illegal content and age inappropriate contacts with third parties, whether these be human beings, commercial enterprises or other types of organizations.
