Online Safety

Most people, including children, have been spending more time online, whether that is in the classroom or at home. This will be the case more than ever during the national lockdown.  It is important to have regular conversations about staying safe online and to encourage children to speak to you if they come across something worrying online. 

See the support for parents and carers to keep children and young people safe from online harm and the Support to stay safe online. These resources provide guidance to help parents and carers to keep children safe online. They will, amongst other things, support you to talk to your child about a range of online safety issues, set up home filtering in a child-friendly way and set up age-appropriate parental controls on digital devices.
