Our Commitment to You

At JT, we are committed to supporting families across the Channel Islands by promoting responsible digital habits, protecting children online and ensuring our practices are ethical and transparent.

Supporting Parents & Guardians

We provide:
  • Family-friendly mobile devices with built-in safety features like content filtering, app restrictions and location tracking.
  • Educational resources to help parents manage screen time, understand app risks and set up parental controls.
  • Community engagement through partnerships with schools and local authorities to promote digital wellbeing.

Parental Controls

Most devices allow you to:
  • Block selected websites and email addresses.
  • Set time limits for device use.
  • Prevent searches for specific words or content.
Check your device’s manual or manufacturer’s website for setup instructions. You can also use OpenDNS FamilyShield for additional filtering.

Useful Tips

There are certain measures you can take to ensure you and your family are safe when using the internet, such as by keeping personal information safe and setting up technical parental controls. Some computers and other digital technologies like games consoles and mobile phones have parental controls which will let you do things like:

  • Block selected websites and email addresses by adding them to a filter list.
  • Set time limits for use.
  • Prevent your child from searching certain words.
  • Before you set rules you can check the equipment’s user manual or the manufacturers’ websites to see what controls you have access to.  If you are unable to set controls on your existing equipment, you may want to set up an account with the OpenDNS FamilyShield.

Wireless networks don’t stop at the walls of your home and can extend more than 300 feet from your wireless router, meaning others can access your network. If you have a wireless router make sure it’s secured with a strong password and encryption, so that only authorised users can access your network.

How to keep your children safe online

Mobile Phone use in Schools

From September 2025, students at government schools in Jersey will not be allowed to use phones during the school day.
This policy reflects growing concerns about:

Online harms, including exposure to inappropriate content.
Mental health and wellbeing, with educators reporting calmer, more focused classrooms.
Digital addiction, especially among under-16s.

We support this initiative by:

Offering school-safe modes and device management tools for parents.
Encouraging families to limit screen time and monitor app usage.
Promoting open conversations between schools, parents and children about safe digital habits.
