Web Browsing
Using the iPad’s Safari browser, you can filter all content by going to ‘Settings’ on the home screen, ‘General’ and ‘Restrictions’. You can then change the option from ‘Explicit’ to ‘Clean’.
Although the iPad’s default browser is Safari, you can opt to change to Yahoo! or Google. You can go someway to restrict adult sites from these search engines as each have safe search settings. In Google, log into your Google account, go to ‘Settings’ then ‘Search Settings’. Click the option to ‘SafeSearch’ and save your settings. It’s a similar story with Yahoo! Click on ‘Options’, then ‘Preferences’. In the ‘SafeSearch’ option you can restrict access to adult images, sites and videos. Again, remember to save your settings. Other browsers such as Bing.com allow you to set searches to a ‘Strict’ setting by hitting the ‘Preferences’ button.
Apps
You can set restriction limits in the 'Settings' area. Some apps are definitely not suitable for younger children, so it’s worth keeping an eye on what’s being downloaded. Even without access to a credit card, there are plenty of free apps that shouldn't fall into the hands of younger children. Remember to sign out of your own iTunes account after you’ve used it, otherwise a crafty child could get his hands on priced apps, courtesy of your credit card.
Passcode
We have spoken about this before on iPad.net, but it’s worth remembering here. You can set a 4-digit passcode by visiting the ‘Settings’ area of your iPad.
The iPad is great for children of all ages, and my two sons love using it. However, with just a few tweaks and some vigilance, you can also ensure their safety.
