Taking a Look at Cyber Safety

Dear parents,

As we are all aware, the world in which we live is becoming increasingly more technologically focussed. As a result, our students, your children, are being exposed to more and more information and spending more and more time online. Although the internet can be a magnificent learning tool, as with anything, there are dangers involved. Your children are now in year 6 and headed towards the eligibility age of having a Facebook page, Twitter account and more. These types of social media sites can be dangerous, but only if you don't know how to protect yourself of your child, this is an issue that this blog will explore further.

The purpose of this blog is to help you, help your child when it comes to behaving ethically and responsibly online. As well as information on some vital areas of internet practices, there will be links to numerous websites that you may wish to visit to deepen or extend your understanding. Keeping yourself and your child safe, as well as behaving in a responsible and ethical manner online is a priority both now, and moving forward into the teenage years and beyond.

So jump in! Check out some of the other blog posts that explore other issues further! Feel free to leave any comments or questions at the end of the post! If you'd prefer to email me directly then go right ahead!

Enjoy,

Andy Thomas
