E-Safety
E-Safety encompasses not only Internet technologies but also electronic communications such as mobile phones and wireless technology. It highlights the need to educate children about the benefits and risks of using this technology and provides safeguards and awareness to enable them to use it safely, at home and school.
We take the safety of all very seriously, that includes safety online. As children become increasingly aware of online forms of communication it is essential that parents and carers are fully aware of the pros and cons of children using the internet. If you are a parent or carer, we hope you will find the guide and web links below useful, they offer advice to help ensure that children stay safe while online.
Great advice to keep children safe whilst using the internet, for you and your children to access.
