E-safety Information
The internet is an amazing place to learn and discover new things. Children can play, learn, create and connect – opening up a whole world of exciting possibilities. We regularly reinforce e-safety within our computing lessons and assemblies in school, but with the digital world changing all the time, how can you make sure your child’s staying safe at home?
Below are some links to useful websites to support you to ensure that your child is safe online and to explain what to do if you have any concerns.
