Information for Parents
Technology and the Internet can be fantastic – they can help our children to learn, to create amazing things, to communicate and to entertain themselves and each other. Our children are surrounded by this technology. Technology is part of our children's daily lives; an 'online life' is growing in importance as is the influence of others who are online - Youtubers, Celebrities and Influencers.
This page will tell you a little bit about how we approach internet safety and provide you with links to websites with useful advice on how to help protect your children at home and what to do if you need to report something.
Our job is not to stop our young people from using technology but to ensure that they have the necessary knowledge, skills and understanding to safely and successfully exist in this growing online world.
Our approach is to encourage our children to become a 'Good Digital Citizen'. Just as being a good citizen is about treating people and places respectfully, being a good digital citizen extends this to the online world - communicating respectfully, respecting the privacy of others, keeping an open mind, giving helpful information or constructive feedback. Also recognising that just as there are places which are risky or dangerous to visit in the real world, there are risky and dangerous places to visit in the online world.
