E-SAFETY
With the Summer upon us, our pupils will have the opportunity to take part in all their favourite pastimes. For many of them, this includes gaming online, and one of the best ways that parents can help to keep their children safe online is to actively engage with what their children are doing. Simple activities such as asking them to tell you about the game or what they do or even spending some time watching them play can not only help you understand what is going on but allow your child time and space to talk with you if they find some of the content online disturbing.

Yours ever,
