Online Safety
Helping Children Stay Safe Online
On this page, we have put together resources to help you and your family stay safe whilst using technology.
We believe children have a right to knowledge and information. It is our collective responsibility to help them access it safely and responsibly.
Through a range of lessons and discussions, we teach children to become respectful digital citizens. This includes understanding online behaviour, managing digital relationships, recognising risks and knowing how to seek help.
💬 Have a Chat
Communication is key. Talk to your child about how they use technology, what they enjoy online and any worries they may have.
Having calm, open conversations helps children feel comfortable talking to trusted adults if something goes wrong.
If your child mentions something unfamiliar, take time to look into it together.
🔒 Safety First
Make sure you understand the safety settings available on the devices and apps your children use.
- Parental controls on phones, tablets and consoles
- Privacy settings on apps and social media
- Blocking and reporting features
- Age ratings and content restrictions
Ask children how they would keep themselves safe online and encourage them to think critically.
⚠️ Important Reminders
- Always ask a trusted adult before going online
- Never share personal information
- Do not send photos to strangers
- Tell an adult if something online feels upsetting or worrying
