The internet can be a wonderful tool & we are using it more and more whether at home, in school, on mobile phones, or a games console. However, online access also comes with risks, like inappropriate content, cyberbullying, and online predators.
It is important that we understand enough about the internet to keep our children safe from harm but it is equally important that we equip our children with the skills they need to keep themselves safe so they can experience the internet positively and responsibly.

We are delighted to promote the ‘Safer Schools’ App. This App is a reliable source of advice on all things Cyber. It gives empowering, current and informative information on all current digital platforms/tools/apps in an accessible manner.

To access your parent platform please:

-Go to your app store or Google Play and search for ‘Safer Schools’

-In school field type ‘East Ayrshire Council’

-The code for primary parents is: 7440

We would recommend that you discuss with your child about which apps and social media platforms they currently use/access. This will help ensure they know how to stay safe online – using the app to start these types of conversations is great.
