ONLINE Safety

It is vital that we work together to keep children safe online. We encourage you to broach Online Safety carefully with your child, in order to maintain open lines of communication, so that children are more likely to talk to an adult if they have any problems or concerns. 

SOCIAL MEDIA

Social Media is a powerful tool, often used in excellent ways (see the school Facebook account for a wonderful example of positive Social Media in action, but we know it can be a risky subject.

Be a part of your child’s online life; involve the whole family and show an interest. Find out about the sites they visit and what they love about them. If they know you understand they are more likely to come to you if they have any problems. 

So what should my child be using?
