Wrapper for a safe search engine which ensures safety on the internet for children from Pre-K and up and peace of mind for teachers and parents. Safer Web is a free wrapper app that makes the online kid safe search engine, Kiddle.co, its home page. The app ensures safe browsing by blocking any web searches, websites or adverts that match any restricted keywords identified when following links that take you out of Kiddle.co. Safer Web does not allow you to type a website address directly into it and you can only follow links deemed safe by the search engine and restricted keyword list. Icon design by Luke Bowles.
