Online Dangers
The online world is posing an ever-increasing risk to children, and it is important that schools, parents and carers work together to take an active role in teaching children about online dangers. As a school we have a subscription to the NOS - National Online Safety so that all of our parents/carers can access the advice and guidance.
Act Safely
Learning how to act safely when using the internet is an incredibly important part of safeguarding our children. We are therefore delighted to announce that we have shown our commitment to protecting our pupils online by working with National Online Safety- providing resources for all parents and carers.
Resources
The resources include Parents & Carers courses, online video resources and weekly guides covering a huge range of topics regarding online safety.
