What is E-Safety?
As a parent you'll know how important the internet is to children - they use it to learn, play, socialise and express themselves. It's a highly creative place of amazing opportunities. But the technology children use every day can seem a bit daunting and you might worry about the risks your child can face online - such as bullying, contact from strangers or the possibility of them seeing illegal or inappropriate content.
In school we teach children how to stay safe online. This includes online bullying, how to report inappropriate communication or content, password security, the sharing of personal details and recognising fake content. Our school internet access provider operates a filtering system that restricts access to inappropriate materials.
The digital landscape is constantly evolving. Below are some links to websites to help children stay safe online. These include information and guides about setting up safety and security features on devices at home.
