TOP TIPS - How to ensure your child is safe online
Try to support your child during learning time so you can see what they are doing. Ask them to work in an open space, not in a bedroom or behind closed doors.
If anything feels wrong or different, contact your school immediately.
Have regular conversations about online safety and encourage them to share their online experiences with you.
Don’t rely on internet filters to monitor websites.
