Online Safety

Why is it important?

Children spend more time online than ever before. The internet is a fantastic resource which enables us to connect and communicate with others in a variety of ways.  However, along with the many advantages, using the internet can also have risks and children need to be taught how to stay safe whilst online.

Technology is constantly changing but even if you’re unfamiliar with the latest technology, talk to you child about their internet use and what they do when they are online. From social media apps to messaging services to online gaming, it’s important that we, as trusted adults, help to protect them from harm. It is just as important that they too know how to respond to online dangers.

Nationalonlinesafety.com have created a guide for children to help them to make the right decisions when accessing the online world. Please follow the link below and share this information with your child:
