Online Safety In School
In school, children are taught how to keep their personal information safe, and to be critical of the things they see online. They are shown what to do if anything they see online upsets them and who they should report this to.
Internet content accessed in school is filtered by our internet service provider to help safeguard the children from accessing unsuitable content. There are a number of search engines that are designed specifically for children and a few examples are listed below.
There are many useful and informative websites for parents and carers which provide information and guidance on what you can do to help keep your child safe. Many sites have sections designed specifically for children to help them develop their understanding of how to keep themselves safe on line. We have provided links to some of these below.

The DfE have launched a new online service for schools, called Parent Info, a collaboration between CEOP and Parent Zone. The site gives parents the information they need to help them navigate the minefield of issues children can now face on everything from spotting the warning signs of self-harm, to having a healthy body image and managing money in a digital world. As well as giving them the confidence and support to speak to their children on such sensitive issues, it will also provide them with pathways for where they can go for more hands on support on specific issues.
