Teenage cybercrime: Help your child make the right #CyberChoices
Useful Tips for Online Safety
Please encourage children to :-
- Talk to a parent/carer/trusted adult if they see anything or hear anything that is scaring them.
- If they are told ‘not to tell their parents’ then that is a green light to go straight to an adult.
- Not to download or accept any unknown contacts on social media or particularly WhatsApp.
- Follow the link for Vodafone's digital parenting website, which offers resources and support for families to get the most out of tech and enjoy happy digital lives.
- Follow the link to the NSPCC's 'setting parental controls' page to help keep your child safe online.
Filtering and monitoring of websites used by pupils in our school
As a school we have appropriate and compliant filtering in place in school so children can safely access the internet for their learning. We use the Westmorland & Furness Council filtering which is through Securly.
Online safety guidance is routinely shared on our social media page and on this webpage.
