E-Safety

Children are taught how to keep themselves safe online through a combination of assemblies and lessons from their class teacher.

In particular, children are shown how to:

• use technology safely, respectfully and responsibility
• recognise acceptable/unacceptable behaviour online, such as cyberbullying
• keep passwords and personal information safe
• report when they feel unsafe
• understand their online presence and how to be in control of their own privacy

We understand that it can be overwhelming to keep up-to-date with new technologies so we highly recommend using the resources below to keep your children safe online.
