It is certainly true we’ll be spending more time on our devices over the coming weeks. We thought it would be helpful to post these posters as a reminder of internet safety and the need to tell an adult if they see or hear anything that makes them feel uncomfortable. A new free 'National Online Safety' App for parents and teachers has been launched, giving access to instant info about the latest apps, games, devices and more.

We can only be successful in keeping children safe online if we work with parents to ensure the E-Safety message is consistent.

 

It is important that parents speak to and monitor their children about how they can keep safe and behave appropriately online.

 

Remember help is always available at school if you are having any problems online.

Don’t be afraid to talk to your teacher or another adult at school.
