E-Safety

 

The internet is an amazing tool, we just need to use it with care and guidance and ensure our children are fully informed.

Online safety is very important to all at Brooksward School.

 

It is vitally important that children know how to stay safe online and access age suitable resources. 

A crucial element of this is the conversation parents and teachers have with children regarding what they share online and who they share it with.  The NSPCC launched the 'Share Aware' Campaign which aims to provide straightforward, no-nonsense advice for parents of 8 to 12-year-old children and to get parents and children talking together about Internet Safety.

There is lots of useful advice on their website - the following link will take you straight there.
