ABOUT THE WEBSITE
The website
is based on the characters from the popular television programme Brum,
created by Ragdoll Ltd. The award-winning company is also the creator
of Rosie and Jim, Tots TV and Teletubbies.
Brum
is an energetic, live-action comedy set in the crazy world of the Big
Town. The introduction of a website will enable children to learn more
about Brum's world, and to join their super-brave superhero in his on-line
adventures whenever they want.
SAFETY ON THE WEB
Whilst we encourage the interactive nature of on-line media, it is important that parents are aware of how to safeguard their children's privacy when using the web. We advise them to discuss with their children restrictions regarding the on-line use of personal information.
Key notes to parents:
-
Try and surf the Internet with your child, and advise on good and safe sites to visit
-
Set time limits to prevent running up huge phone bills
-
Say when and where your child can use the Net e.g. at school, libraries or a friend's house
-
Remind your child to always tell you about anything that they don't like, are afraid of, that scares them or makes them uneasy
