Child Safety Online

As parents, we do our utmost best to look after our children and to protect them from danger but only few of us realise the danger that lurks around in the cyber world.

Many children have been exposed to danger while they spend time on the internet, making virtual friends and giving away confidential information about their family.

At Southgate Computers in Crawley, we understand that the children of today are the leaders of tomorrow and we aim to arm parents with the necessary information to ensure their children are adequately protected against online predators. Especially in an age where the children are the technology experts in the home, with all gadgets having the ability to connect to the internet and GPS to track their location.

If your are unsure of what to do or how to implement this processes, we are happy to help you. No need to book an appointment, just give us a call or pop into our office to discuss further.

Although we cannot totally eliminate the online danger, however, there are precautions that can be put in place to ensure our children’s online activities are monitored and regulated.
