New technologies inspire children to be creative, communicate and learn. However, while the internet is a great resource, it is important that children and young people are protected from the risks they may encounter. Glebefields Primary School endeavours to highlight benefits and risks of using technology and provides safeguarding and education for users to enable them to control their online experience.
There are many resources out there to help you to ensure that your child is safe when using new technology at home. Please find links to the relevant websites below and if you have any concerns around e-safety please contact school immediately.
Childnet have produced lots of useful resources and tools that can help parents or carers ensure their child is safe and happy online.
