Online Use

The internet is a fantastic place to learn create and have fun, but we need to ensure that our children continue to have a well balanced life and that they are using devices safely. 


More and more pre-schoolers have their own tablets or borrow their parents’ devices to play games, use apps and watch their favourite TV shows. The Internet Matters Website is full of advice on simple things you can do to make sure that your child is staying safe online. We have also copied some of the resources below that we think you may find helpful.

If you are concerned about the radicalisation of your own or another child, you can speak to one of our safeguarding leads or the NSPCC offer a free and confidential helpline.
