Online Safety
Social media and online activity among our children.
In today's digital age, many of our students are using various devices such as smartphones, tablets, and gaming consoles to access social media platforms. While these technologies offer numerous benefits, it is essential to remain vigilant about how our children engage with them. With the rise of social media, we want to remind you of the importance of monitoring your child's online presence.
Do you know what your child is accessing online? It’s quite surprising to discover how easily children can stumble upon content that may not be suitable for their age. Some children may be exposed to materials that could be distressing or inappropriate, and this can have a lasting impact on their emotional well-being.
We strongly encourage you to have open conversations with your child about their online activities. Ask questions about the apps they use, the friends they connect with, and the content they consume. Setting appropriate boundaries and guidelines can help safeguard them from potential risks associated with unsupervised online interactions.
Additionally, consider reviewing your child's device settings and parental controls. These features can be beneficial in creating a safer online environment. Regularly checking in, discussing experiences, and establishing trust can better equip them to navigate the online world responsibly.
Please see below as we have provided a list of useful websites, advice and resources that you may find helpful when navigating the issue of online safety with your child. At the bottom of this page are resources that your child can directly access as well to help them learn about online safety.
