Safer Internet Day 2022
Today (Tuesday 8th February) is Safer Internet Day 2022.
The internet has become a key part of our lives and especially over the last few years with online learning, use of the internet is becoming essential for not just adults but children as well.
Whether it is accessing the internet to send emails, watch videos, playing games or contacting friends, it is something that touches all our lives. Children are accessing the internet at a younger and younger age, especially though the use of tablet devices and smartphones.
It is incredibly important that your child is safe when they are online. In school today we will be talking about how to stay safe online to all children and what to do if they feel worried about anything that happens online. We would encourage you to continue this conversation with your children at home.
We have attached some links below for parents to look at. Especially useful are the videos found at:
These videos are aimed at specific age groups and also provide resources such as games and digital storybooks which allow you to continue the conversation with your child after watching the video.
