Online Safety

Keeping children safe online this Christmas for parents/carers.

The Internet is an invaluable tool for teaching and learning and is an amazing resource. However, it is very important to keep your child safe online.  There are many sites online that provide a wealth of up-to-date information about how parents/carers can support their child with online safety.  Please do visit these sites and 'Be SMART online!'

Are you worried about online abuse or the way someone has been communicating with you online?
