Qustodio can block children’s access to social media and online gaming sites and monitor their social posts – as well as what their friends are sharing to your children’s social feeds – including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp and YouTube.

The time controls are detailed and granular, and monitoring is included for up to fifteen devices. You can use Qustodio’s online dashboard to see how your children use their devices, apps and web browsers in fine detail, and pre-set filters can be used to block all sorts of inappropriate content. The broad device support is bolstered by impressive features. SLD also operates a client service bureau to answer questions at 1-88 or via email through the SLD website.Qustodio has been one of the most popular parental control tools for years, and it’s no wonder when you consider that this software is powerful, versatile and surprisingly easy to use – and that it works on Windows, Apple, Android, iOS and Kindle devices. You can find out more about CIPA or apply for E-rate funding by contacting the Universal Service Administrative Company's (USAC) Schools and Libraries Division (SLD).


Schools subject to CIPA have two additional certification requirements: 1) their Internet safety policies must include monitoring the online activities of minors and 2) as required by the Protecting Children in the 21st Century Act, they must provide for educating minors about appropriate online behavior, including interacting with other individuals on social networking websites and in chat rooms, and cyberbullying awareness and response. Before adopting this Internet safety policy, schools and libraries must provide reasonable notice and hold at least one public hearing or meeting to address the proposal. The protection measures must block or filter Internet access to pictures that are: (a) obscene (b) child pornography or (c) harmful to minors (for computers that are accessed by minors). Schools and libraries subject to CIPA may not receive the discounts offered by the E-rate program unless they certify that they have an Internet safety policy that includes technology protection measures. In early 2001, the FCC issued rules implementing CIPA and provided updates to those rules in 2011. CIPA imposes certain requirements on schools or libraries that receive discounts for Internet access or internal connections through the E-rate program – a program that makes certain communications services and products more affordable for eligible schools and libraries. The Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) was enacted by Congress in 2000 to address concerns about children's access to obscene or harmful content over the Internet.
