The Google Family Safety Centre

Google has recently launched a family centre to tackle some of the issues surrounding Internet Safety and Responsible Use.

The aims of the family centre are:

  • Provide parents and teachers with tools to help them choose what content their children see online
  • Offer tips and advice to families about how to stay safe online
  • Work closely with organizations such as charities, others in our industry and government bodies dedicated to protecting young people

The site is split into four main sections:

1. Google safety tools

Google builds tools into their products that help you manage Internet safety. SafeSearch and YouTube Safety Mode help you control the type of content you see on these services.
