This section on the ChildLine website
provides invaluable information for
children and young people on keeping
safe online.
There is also a section with advice on
what to do if they find themselves a
victim of cyberbullying.
With the Internet becoming very much a part of everyday life, it is vital that we, as a School
and you as a parent/carer, keep our children safe online.
When your child is online, do you know which websites they are accessing?
Do you know who they are talking to and what information they may be giving out?
On this page there are links to websites that can give you lots of information to help you
to protect your child online.
We also have a FREE Cd-Rom available for any parent/carer called 'Know it all, for parents'
which is a guide to getting the most out of the Internet and keeping children safe online.
If you would like a copy of the FREE CD, please ask at the Office or see Mr Oliver (I.T. Technician).

Childnet's Know IT All for Primary Schools
has been especially designed for primary
school staff to help them understand important
e-safety issues and how to help young pupils get
the most out of the internet.
This site contains E-Safety
information and resources for
younger children.
The 'Dongle the Rabbit' interactive
cartoon explains the SMART rules
in a fun way.
This website provides advice and resources on how to keep
safe online. There are separate areas for teachers and trainers,
parents, pupils aged 11-16, pupils aged 8-10 (Cybercafe) and for
pupils aged 5-7 (Hector's World). The teacher area requires
registration for use but this is straightforward enough.
The pupil areas are open access. The TUK resources have been
produced to help teach young people to stay safe online.
The resources have been developed largely with the direct help
and advice from the Child Exploitation and Online Protection
Centres Youth Advisory Panel. There is also a facility on this
website to 'Report Abuse.'
This website provides information on how to keep safe online.
It looks at all the different examples of Internet
use - e.g. Instant Messaging, creating personal websites,
shopping, etc. - and explains what this is as well as the common
problems associated with it. This is a really good site for parents
who are often unaware of how their children are
using the Internet at home.
