'E' safety at home
To support our very successful and informative online safety day on the 8th March, a parent information presentation was accessible for the week and we're pleased to say that a number of parents accessed this and have left some very positive feedback.
Some comments left regarding the session were as follows:
"Will definitely be keeping more of an eye out."
"I will continue to have conversations with my kids around online safety"
"I will ensure parental control is placed, ensure not to operate and open door policy. Monitor the children closely on the activities they carry out online."
"The session is very educative and informative."
For those of you unable to access the presentation, a copy of the slides is attached below. We would strongly recommend that everyone takes the time to read these and to explore the links to help safeguard all of our children as they explore the online world.
