The World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers (WAN-IFRA)
has created a Parental Guide titled ‘Internet in the Family’, for helping and protecting children when they use the Internet.
This Guide was offered to the Funday Times to distribute among our readers. We have now printed this Guide with the sponsorship of NDB bank and AVIVA NDB.
‘Internet in the Family’ offers advice to parents on how to help
children to search the Internet,
how to determine the credibility of
information, how to avoid dangers posed by undesirable sites and how to conduct themselves on social
networks and blogs.
The Guide includes a ‘Family Code’ of behaviour for
using the Internet and offers
ten recommendations for adults.
The booklet is available
free of charge to all Funday Club Members and readers on a
first-come-first-served basis.
Parents of club members could pick up a booklet from the Wijeya Newspapers
guardroom at No. 8, Hunupitiya Cross Road Colombo 2, by
producing their membership card.
Outstation Club Members and readers who are interested in
having a copy of the Guide, please write in or email us and we will post it or send it through our newspaper agents. |
