If you are using a search engine then make sure it is as safe as possible. Make sure content filters are set to the maximum level. Always try out the questions first (including misspelling search words) to see what sort of results appear and amend/delete questions if they cause problems.

Make sure children are familiar with your school’s Internet safety policy before you start. Never allow children to work on tasks such as this without suitable supervision.
