Part of our vision is ‘happy together, growing together’. In order for our children to do this they need to develop confidence, the skills needed for positive, trusting relationships, and the knowledge of how to keep themselves safe. Keeping safe online and whilst using digital technologies is an important part of this. We know that our parents and carers want to work with us to enable our children to make informed and safe choices. We hope the following resources will be helpful to you.
The UK Safer Internet Centre provides resources to promote the safe and responsible use of technology for young people. They provide the resources which we as a school use for the annual internet safety day. They also have an advice centre for parents, carers and schools. This advice includes how to set up parental controls and links to Children’s Parents and Carers Zone.
