E Safety zone for parents

With the ever changing world of social media, it is essential that we equip our children with the skills needed to ensure safe use of the internet. The key aspects of any online safety guidance are:

1) Content: being exposed to illegal, inappropriate or harmful material eg fake news, pornography, extremist views;

2) Contact: being exposed to harmful online interaction with other users eg commercial advertising or adults posing as children;

3) Conduct: personal online behaviour that increases the likelihood of or causes harm eg sending of explicit images or online bullying behaviours;

4) Commerce: risks such as online gambling, inappropriate advertising, phishing, scamming.

The internet is a powerful and exciting learning tool but we need home support with ensuring that children make the best but safest use of it.

We have added a selection of documents that may be of some use when helping to keep your child safe online. Do take some time to have a browse.
