    Sex offenders in the Thames Valley will be the first in the UK to have parental controls put on their computers.

    The filtering software will be used to monitor the online activities of offenders convicted of internet related-crimes against children.

    The trial will start in Buckinghamshire and, if successful, will be rolled out across the whole of the force area.
