As we head towards Christmas, there may be new mobile phones, XBoxes or other digital technology arriving in stockings. We recommend that these new devices are set up with parental controls before the children start to use them in order to keep them safe online. We also recommend that this is a good time to check existing devices are safe also. With the darker evenings, a lot of children may be spending more time online than they do in the summer.

Please see the National Online Safety guidance that we will be covering in school here so that you can reinforce these messages at home: Social Media Online Safety Tips

Parents/carers can also find useful information and guidance about how to keep your child safe online at  https://education.gov.scot/parentzone/my-child/digital-learning. Thank you for your support in keeping our children safe.
