There are many ways to filter web access, either through software installed on the PCs or filtered through a gateway/proxy (eg. your router, if supported).

For PCs you can use something like Content Advisor in Internet Explorer. You can also install third-party software such as CyberPartrol, NetNanny, K9 Web Protection, and so forth.

You can also use hardware appliances which physically connect to your network which are dedicated for filtering, such as Websense. They tend to be a lot more expensive than the software, and are usually used in businesses for filtering.
