E-Safety

Digital safety has become an increasing concern for parents and schools over the last year as young people have had to spend more time online. There are many ways we can protect young people and now, more than ever, we need to be even more vigilant about their access to online platforms and social media Apps. 

Computers and technology can be lots of fun. While online you can learn new things, talk to your friends, and play games. Sometimes though things can happen online that make you upset or worry you.  People may say mean things which make you feel sad, or you may see something that you do not like. It is especially important that you are safe whilst you are on the computer and know what to do if you feel scared or threatened in anyway. I f this happens, you must remember it is not your fault. TELL AN ADULT YOU TRUST if you are upset or worried about something that has happened to you.
