Information and Support

Online safety is often defined as the safe and responsible use of technology...


The Internet is a powerful tool. Through it we have access to in-depth knowledge, tools to express our creativity, and people from all over the world. Yet along with offering a fascinating, new way to connect with the world, the Internet also offers new risks:

  • Cyberbullying
  • Exposure to inappropriate material
  • Online predators
  • Revealing too much personal information

 

Below are links and information to help support you, but if you are concerned about anything to do with Online Safety or need some advice then please contact the school and ask for Mrs Moody, Family Liaison Worker.
