Safer Internet Day 2024 – 6th February 2024 .

Thousands of people across the UK will be working together to champion youth voice and engage in conversations about how we can all work together to make the internet a great and safe place.

Knowing how to help your child use the internet safely is frequently a challenge and we have lots of conversations with both children and parents about how this could be done.

The safety of our children is of paramount importance to us, and we are acutely aware of the ever-increasing need to educate our pupils about staying safe online. In partnership with the National Online Safety project, we have a comprehensive scheme of learning that we deliver throughout school to reflect the continually changing world of technology.

National Online Safety has also produced some useful parent information leaflets, covering a range of topics, which you can access by clicking on the links below.

Seven out of ten parents use technical controls on their child’s devices to manage access to content. Such safeguards can be an enormous asset: helping parents and carers to manage what their child might encounter online while allowing young people to happily start using their new gizmo to explore the digital world.

Though extremely useful once in place, such parental controls vary from device to device and can often be confusing or difficult to set up. This guide below outlines what defences are available on some of the most popular devices around: advice that will probably come in particularly handy at this time of year!
