What can I do at home to keep my children e-safe and happy online?

 

The internet is a wonderful tool for children to use to learn and play.  To keep children safe online it is important to open a dialogue with them about what they enjoy doing online.  From here you can help to guide the children towards safe behaviour online. 

You can:

 

- Ask your child to show you the websites apps and games that they use.

- Make an agreement that they will tell you if they see something online that worries or upsets them.

- Ask them to set their profile settings to private.

- Set appropriate parental controls on my your child's computer, smartphone / tablet and games console.

- Make sure that you know where to get help if you are concerned about your child.

 

A detailed e-safety checklist for parents and carers is available to download at the bottom of this page.

The Department for Education has also produced a document advising parents and carers on how to keep children safe from cyber-bullying. It is available to download at the bottom of this page. 

 

What do we do at school to keep children e-safe?

 

At School

 

As part of your child’s curriculum and the development of computer skills, we provide access to the internet only in teacher supervised lessons. We strongly believe that the use of the web and email is hugely worthwhile and an essential tool for children as they grow up in the modern world. But because there are always concerns about children having access to undesirable materials, we have taken positive steps to deal with this risk in school. Our school internet access provider operates a filtering system that restricts access to inappropriate materials.

 

  • Our school internet access provider operates a filtering system that restricts access to inappropriate materials.
  • Our school computing curriculum includes an entire term dedicated to e-safety.
  • When using then internet at school throughout the year children are regularly reminded by the staff and each other about how to stay safe online.
  • On Wednesday 18th March 2020 the school will hold an e-safety day, with an assembly and various activities all focused on e-safety.
  • E-Safety assemblies and competitions are run throughout the year to encourage children to stay safe online

 

The internet is an incredible invention that is now an integral part of all of our lives; by working together our Sawley community can ensure that our children benefit from the best possible introduction to it.
