Cyber Safety Campaign: Keep Them Safe..Keep Them Curious
ictQATAR recently launched its "Keep Them Safe, Keep Them Curious" campaign to begin raising awareness about the need for parents to be involved in their child's online safety and to give some basic tips for how to help be more cyber smart.
In a newly launched commercial airing in cinemas, and on television and radio, a typical Qatari family is seen taking easy, smart steps to help keep their children safe online - all without squashing their curiosity. ictQATAR also has a series of advertisements on Doha's streets and various billboards to help raise awareness.
In November 2009, ictQATAR published on its website a number of cyber safety tips on the parental control software solutions that parents can use to ensure a safe online experience. The tips raised a number of questions parents need to ask before deciding on the appropriate software solution, in addition to explaining the differences between free, commercial and built-into-the-computer software that are available for parental control.
In the near future ictQATAR plans to watch a website dedicated to child online safety. The site will be tailored to be appealing to children, parents and teachers, with resources for each on how to be safe online.
