Know IT All for Parents
Welcome to the Know IT All for Parents area where you can access the entire content from the Know IT All for Parents CD-ROM.
Because the majority of the content includes video introductions and interactive activities, it may take time to download (depending on the speed of your connection). However once you have downloaded the
Home Page you can access individual sections separately. There is also a Text only version of the entire content.
Most of the content on this CD-ROM is for parents and carers, but there is also a special section for
children and young people, which you can show your kids.
The Know IT All for Parents and Carers presentation
highlights the gap that exists between children’s real experience online and adult awareness of
these experiences. The presentation contains information about
positive ways young people are using different technologies, what the
risks are to users and it outlines practical advice in avoiding or
minimising risks when using online and mobile technologies.
If you have only recently started using the internet and need help with the basics, don’t worry – there is a special section for you called
New to Computers. Also, if you haven’t got the time to look at all the material on this
CD-ROM, there is a Quick Overview which gives you a summary of the content. This section has
been translated into Arabic, Bengali, Gujarati,
Mandarin, Polish, Punjabi, Urdu
and British Sign Language.

"I am delighted with this new resource. I have seen it myself and, as a new parent, I can see how valuable this will be to the parents of children and young people of all ages. We should never take
for granted that our children know it all about computers and the internet. We should know what they're doing and be there to help and support them. This new resource provides a lot of information
and advice for parents and I'm pleased that the main overview section is translated into seven other languages and into British Sign Language... I am also pleased that it includes sections
for young people themselves and for teachers, and fully approve of the approach Childnet has taken with this resource – having young people talking to young people about the benefits
and issues associated with the internet is very powerful."
Parmjit Dhanda, MP, Minister for Children, Young People and Families speaking at the launch of the Know IT All for Parents resource
