BOSTON and Skegness MP Mark Simmonds is urging local primary schools to make IT happy and safe.

MPs and e-skills UK have launched the seventh year of the Make IT Happy competition, a UK-wide technology challenge for primary school students aged nine to 11.

The competition has been specially designed to help children use the internet safely and creatively. Staying safe online is an important skill, and the competition helps them learn how to make the most of the internet without putting themselves at risk.

A total £1,200 will be awarded to each of the regional competition finalists, with the overall winning school taking home an additional cash prize of £4,000. Winners will be invited to attend an awards ceremony at the Houses of Parliament in London in June.

    “Such steps are most welcome and it makes an ideal case for installing some kind of parental control app also at home that prohibits kids from watching unwanted stuff. I already have one installed called Qustodio and I use it to block bad content as also watch who my son talks to on Facebook. It shows me the profile pictures of accounts that he interacts with. With measures such as these, I hope I can keep him away from such nasty stuff. You can Google for it.”
