E-Safety

It is important for children to be safe when online, both from others and the reprocussions of their own actions and choices. As much as it is important that a child knows how to keep themselves safe and secure when accessing the internet, it is important that they know how to treat others respectfully and with consideration too.

In today's modern social climate, a child's actions online can, have and will have negative consequences when growing into young adults, depending on the nature and severity of their digital public footprint they have tread. More and more are employers doing social background and history checks to accompany CVs and interviews when considering applicants to important or high-end positions. 

Below you will find various information and resources to help you support your child in their online interactions, helping to develop a confident, secure and stable mentality in your children, helping them grow into robust, respectable and positive members of the world wide web.
