This is the National Children's Home (NCH) site. Helping
children achieve their potential includes offering them the
chance to use and understand computers and the internet. Children
from disadvantaged backgrounds are much less likely to have
computers at home. So some of the children with most to gain from
IT have the least opportunity to use it. This is why NCH launched
IT OK, to campaign for safe and equal access to IT for all
children. The site also contains information on how to keep your
child safe online.
