Online Safety

Did you know that e-safety is more than just using the internet on a computer or laptop?

Every time you connect to the internet you need to think SMART. This includes using your phones, tablets, kindles, games consoles, laptops, computers and even, in some cases, your TV!  To stay safe online you need to be “SMART”.

CEOP’s Thinkuknow website

This site gives lots of information for parents as well as games and quizzes for children to ensure they understand how to stay safe online.

Childnet top tips for online gaming:

  1. Engage with the gaming environment and begin to understand what makes it is so attractive to young people as well as the types of activities that they enjoy!
  2. Talk with your children about the types of game(s) they are playing. Ask them to show you or have a go yourself.
  3. Some games may offer children the chance to chat with other players by voice and text. Ask them who they are playing with and find out if they are talking to other players. If chat is available, look at the type of language that is used by other players.
