E-Safety

Using technology and staying safe.

In today’s rapidly expanding digital landscape, prioritising internet safety has become increasingly crucial. The widespread use of the internet brings various risks such as social networking, online gaming hazards, identity theft, all of which can impact both you and your child. It is essential to recognise the significance of your digital footprint, as information shared online can be publicly accessible and potentially influence future prospects. Educational institutions and employers now extensively rely on internet research to evaluate applicants. Considering this, it is important to reflect on what your child’s digital footprint communicates about them.

Within the school curriculum and assemblies, we emphasise the positive and negative aspects of the internet, equipping students with knowledge on how to safeguard themselves while online. To further assist you in understanding the dangers of the internet and ensuring your child’s protection, numerous websites offer valuable advice and guidance which provide additional tools and insights on internet safety.  By staying informed and proactive, we can work together to foster a safe and responsible online environment for our children.
