The online world offers amazing opportunities but also brings elements of potential risk and for Parents & Carers, making sense of the online world can appear to be an enormous challenge. Unlike previous generations, the online environment is an integral part of children’s lives and therefore we can no longer consider their wellbeing or safety without also considering their relationship to technology. However, staying safe online is fundamentally about behaviours rather than the technology itself and if approached from this perspective, we can begin to gain confidence to support our children.
At St Joseph's, we have measures in place to protect our children from any dangerous online content. We have filters in place to screen anything which might be harmful for children. Pupils in Years One to Six have their own unique username and a password in order to log onto online activities. Children are frequently taught and reminded about online safety as part of our curriculum intent.
The information below provides some useful tips for parents and carers when discussing the online environment with children.
