While children are learning from home, they are away from the online safety and security services provided by Network for Learning (N4L) at school. So together with N4L and Netsafe, the Ministry of Education has launched www.switchonsafety.co.nz - a free way to block the worst of the web for students and teachers. By following the instructions you can set up your child’s device for safer connectivity while they learn from home.

Remember, no technical solution is a silver bullet. Please complement this filter with digital citizenship toolkits provided by Netsafe.
