Keeping Children Safe Online
Children today live in a digital world. The development of digital technology and the Internet has revolutionised how children (and adults) live their lives. Used appropriately this technology improves and enhances their lives in many ways. It also, however, presents opportunities for unacceptable behaviour and criminality among a small minority of people. We specifically teach all our children Online Safety via our curriculum.
The continuing development of ‘Smartphones’ and mobile Internet devices means that children can be ‘online’ at all times, which further highlights the need for children, young people and parents to be aware of the dangers and how best to stay safe while enjoying the benefits of digital technology.
We ensure that they use this knowledge and the skills they have learnt across the whole curriculum as well as equipping them to be confident in applying these in their every day lives.
