E-Safety Resources for Parents/Carers
E-safety is taught as part of the computing curriculum. We also provide information to parents in order to reinforce these messages at home.
We have built a collection of useful documents and websites for parents to support parents in keeping their children safe online, which can be accessed below.
If you have concern about your child’s safety online, please contact CEOP (Child Exploitation and Online Protection centre).
If you find additional resources that you think would be useful to share, please contact us and we will be happy to share them.
Please note: the school cannot be held responsible for the content of external sites.
Advice from the NSPCC
There’s a wealth of advice about keeping safe online from the NSPCC. The site includes details of a telephone hotline to get advice on a whole range of e-safety issues. Keeping children safe online | NSPCC
Support for parents and carers to keep children safe online
Support for parents and carers to keep children safe online – GOV.UK from the DFE – how to spot it and how to prevent it.
Social Media
Most social media apps/websites have a 13+ requirement and therefore, children at our school should not be using or accessing them. The following page from the NSPCC are a good guide about social media. Towards the bottom of the page, it details minimum age requirements for specific social media sites.
