The internet has changed all of our lives, particularly our children’s. For parents and carers this opens up a whole new world of things to be aware of. For many of us, this can all be a bit too much. 

It is important that children are kept safe from things online which could upset them or put them at risk. At school we help the children to think about their use of computers and their behaviour online. In lessons, we discuss with them how they can minimise risk.
