We want all our children to feel safe and confident when using the internet, both in school and at home. That’s why we teach them how to make good choices online, how to treat others with respect, and what to do if something worries them. We also work closely with families, offering guidance and support so that parents and carers can help keep their children safe online too.
Online Safety Tips for Parents at Home
