Online Safety

 The internet is a brilliant tool for learning but we must remember to use it in the safest way.  

Ensure that the 3 C's are followed; 

Content - is it appropriate, check the recommended age of any site you are using

Contact -Only talk to people you know 

Conduct - Communicate in the same way you would in person

Remember to follow guidelines given to you by adults.

Staying Safe Online

Internet Matters have a free tablet based app to help parents have conversations with their children about staying safe while online. The App is an interactive game, where parents and children work together to answer multiple choice questions on a number of topics, e.g. cyberbullying, privacy & identity, inappropriate content. The app has been developed to target parents with children aged 8-11. Each answers a number of questions in order to earn points towards a ‘tilting’ game which can be played together.  Download the tablet-only app for free from Appstore or Googleplay

National Online Safety

 The National Online Safety website is a great resource which has been shared with parents on Class Dojo. The 'What Parents Need To Know' posters help explain online terminology, games and social media platforms to educate parents and help them support their children online. 

See a selection of the posters below and click the link in the title above to access the website.
