Internet Safety

We learn a lot about internet safety at school, and pupils have opportunities to discuss and learn how to use technology safely and responsibly.

 

However, it is very important that this message is reinforced at home as well, so that children get the same clear message and feel confident to use the internet in a positive and safe manner.

 

Below is a selection of useful websites for parents and carers, which offer advice and resources on how to keep children safe online:
