Paul Two solutions spring to mind.Dansguardian which will sit on the workstations or the use of OpenDNS's content filtered DNS servers.
I use Dansguardian on my kid's computers and, with a little tweaking to allow particular sites that the default install blacklists, works very well.
I've used OpenDNS for customers with kids on Windows. I've not used it on Linux but shouldn't need much work. Just register a free account, set up content filtering on the account and then replace your DHCP's default DNS servers with OpenDNS's.
