Are you taking an active role in supporting your child in staying safe online?
Children see the internet as an exciting and interesting way to share information and communicate with others. However, we all need to know how to become responsible users so that we can remain safe.
In today's modern technological world, children are more likely to have access to the internet in more than one place. It is therefore our responsibility, both at home and at school, to support children in developing the skills needed for them to be responsible for their own safety when online.
