Online Safety
Staying Safe Online
The range and complexity of today's technology can often seem bewildering for many adults, particularly with children who may seem to be permanently 'connected'. Parents and carers are key partners in helping to safeguard our children when using technologies such as laptops, tablets, Smartphones and games consoles - as such it is useful to agree some ground rules to support their safe use. Set out your expectations (and why). e.g. when they can go online and for how long (don't forget, most gaming consoles now use the internet as well).
Please use the links below to help your children understand how to stay safe online; communication between parent and child is key in order that they feel confident to know what to do if something online worries them or something goes wrong.
