Online SafetyIn this section you will find information explaining exactly 'what' Online Safety is, how you can support your child with being safe and links to a variety of webpages with further information, games and resources.
So, what is Online Safety? Today, the internet is an almost limitless resource. Every topic under the sun seems to have been researched, written about, photographed and captured on film. The huge variety of content available provides an excellent opportunity for children who are eager to explore and learn independently. However, with a lack of restrictions online, it’s essential to consider safeguarding when you let children work on the web or use any electronic communication devices. This is where Online Safety comes in. It involves educating children, and adults, about how to be safe, about making sensible choices and about where to get support/help if they need it.
