E-Safety
E-safety Information
E-safety is a very important part of keeping children safe and something we take seriously at Christ Church Primary School. Because of this, E-safety is taught to all pupils at all ages, clearly explaining and demonstrating how to stay safe and behave appropriately online. Likewise, to help ensure that children are safeguarded from potential dangers and unsuitable material, we have extensive security measures in place in school, which are monitored both internally and externally.
We believe that we can only be successful in keeping children safe online if we work with parents to ensure the E-safety message is consistent. It is therefore important that parents speak to their children about how they can keep safe and behave appropriately online.
In recognition of our commitment to online safety, we are delighted to say that we have achieved 360 degree safe online mark.
Tips for Keeping your Child Safe Online
Make sure that children are aware that they should never give out ANY personal details online; including name, location, e-mail or anything that could be used to identify themselves.
Check the minimum age of games and apps that your children use. These may not be immediately obvious, but can be found on apps stores or online.
Try to place online activity in a public part of the house where their activity can be seen and heard.
When installing new games or apps, do this with your children so that you can help set up appropriate safety settings.
With some games it is possible to install child-friendly graphics options or set the game to a ‘peaceful’ level.
Talk to your child regularly about their on screen gaming experiences.
If using devices such as IPads, you can change the security settings so that children are unable to access content that is not appropriate for their age.
As always, we would encourage children to make the most of online technology; just to do so in a safe and sensible way.
