Thank you to those parents who attended the Online Safety event at Dumfries High School, presented by the police as well as Nickie Reynolds the Education Safeguarding Manager. The police have asked that we circulate the information from the event for those parents who could not attend. This is particularly important given that there have been a number of parental concerns raised over posts online and online activity.

Please note that some aspects of the presentations are not appropriate for children due to some of the content. This guidance is to support parents to help their children to stay safe online.
