Filtering and Monitoring

 

It is essential that children are safeguarded from potentially harmful and inappropriate online material. At Hey with Zion we have effective filtering and monitoring systems in place and their effectiveness is regularly reviewed.

Our filtering system manages the following content: discrimination, drugs/substance content

extremism, malware/hacking, pornography- exploitation, discrimination, drugs/substance abuse, self-harm and violence, piracy and copyright theft.
