There is still a concern about the protection of students from inappropriate websites due to the large amount of internet usage and small amount of safety. Internet usage at home is increasing and most of the time children are unsupervised. It was not until 1990 was internet safety mentioned. One of the biggest concerns is students placing personal details online and having webcam conversations.

98% of Primary Schools have access to the internet. Studying online can easily be distracted by children accidently clicking on the advertisments not knowing that it could lead to pornography or bomb receipe sites.

Two compulsory saftely rules which schools must obtain are:

1. Provide a safe physical and emotional environment for students.
2. Comply with any legislation that has been developed for the safety of students and employees.
