Online Resources & Online Safety
Staying safe online
What is Online-safety?
Online safety is a term which means not only the internet but other ways in which young people communicate using electronic media, e.g. mobile phones. It means ensuring that children and young people are protected from harm and supported to achieve the maximum benefit from new and developing technologies without risk to themselves or others.
The aim of promoting online safety is to protect young people from the adverse consequences of access or use of electronic media, including from bullying, inappropriate behaviour or exploitation.
We have listed some sites below that our children can access from home under the guidance of an adult.

Remember if you're every uncomfortable with the way someone has been communicating with you online you should always make sure to report it. You can do that through the very helpful CEOP website, where advisors will be more than happy to help support you.
