Online safety is an integral part of children's education in today's digital world and is embedded in their learning at school. We also want to help our parents and children improve their own understanding of e-safety issues so they can learn to use the internet and all digital media in a safe and secure way.
At the start of the school year, each class discusses how we can all stay safe online and the dangers we may face on the internet. This is re-emphasised every term and at the start of any internet based unit. We ask all children to sign an Acceptable Use Agreement so that we know they have read and understood our school's rules on staying safe. These can be found below.
You can download a simple e-safety checklist below that may help you start to protect your children online and decrease the risks they face. Or you can engage with your children regarding their use of the internet while at home. Here are some conversation starter ideas from childnet.
Parent Info is a collaboration between The Parent Zone, which has been providing information and support to parents for a decade, and CEOP, the Child Exploitation and Online Protection command of the National Crime Agency.
