Contact Family Zone

Activation of a Family Zone account isn’t mandatory outside of school hours, but your school has recognised that online risks don’t stop at the school gates, so they are offering you an opportunity to take part and help guide your child’s digital development.

Yes. We encourage you to do so! To provide a consistent cyber-safe environment for your child, it's important that all their devices have the same level of protection. 

No. If you would like to filter out adult content from your children's internet access you can upgrade to a Premium Family Zone account. A Premium account will provide default filtering rules that are deemed age-appropriate by a cyber expert. You can change these filter settings to suit your family’s needs, or turn them off altogether.

The school will have visibility of data from your child’s school-owned devices. 

The school has no visibility of any activity outside of school hours on children’s personal devices. Your Family Zone account is simply there to help you understand how your child uses their device online, so that you’re able to support them in their digital development.

If your school is participating in the program to share school time web history with Parents you will be able to view school activity. New customers are invited to link to their Child's school the first time they installed Family Zone on a Parent's iOS or Android phone or tablet.

While Family Zone has been tailored to have as little impact on the user as possible, it is still an open app and uses an additional connection. Both of these will cause the battery to drain slightly faster than if they were not present. However, if this drain is regularly noticeable then we will investigate and find what is going wrong.

Family Zone will send you an alert if your Child's laptop, phone or tablet has not connected to Family Zone within the past 2 weeks. This may indicate that the Device settings may need to be reactivated or your Child may have bypassed the cyber safety.
