Always be careful when you are using the internet. It can help you to keep in touch with your friends and help your education – but it can also cause harm – to you and to others.

Remember help is always available at school if you are having any problems online.

Don’t be afraid to talk to your teacher or another adult at school.

Tips for staying safe online:

· Make sure you keep new online friends strictly online. If someone you don't know asks to be your online friend you must ensure an adult knows about it.

· Know how to use the CEOP Button and how to report it to the CEOP Centre if you are concerned about someone’s online behaviour towards you.

Internet Safety

Internet Safety is taught to children in school as part of the curriculum and is reinforced whenever the children access the web. The use of the internet in school is strictly filtered and the tightest security is in place at all times.

We strongly recommend that parents monitor their children’s activity on the internet at home. There are a variety of ways in which children can access the internet for example through laptops, tablet computers, smart phones and games consoles.
