Online Safety
Children
Keeping safe online is an important message that we regularly share with our children. Throughout their time at Folly Hill we will teach children:
-
To use technology safely and respectfully, keeping personal information private
-
To identify where to go for help and support when they have concerns about content or contact on the internet or other online technologies
-
The safe use of social media and the internet will also be covered in other subjects where relevant.
-
The school will use assemblies to raise pupils’ awareness of the dangers that can be encountered online and may also invite speakers to talk to pupils about this.
Parents
To support parents here are some useful websites to provide some help with setting up parental controls for your children on the internet to keep them safe. These also contains lots of other useful hints and tips.
