On the 7th February it was Safer Internet Day.

I know that many of us are baffled by aspects of the internet and that even our primary aged children are overtaking us with their confidence and abilities. Today’s children are born into a fast paced digital world. They may be tech savvy but we can’t forget they are still very young children. Therefore is is even more important for parents/carers and teachers to make sure that we teach our children about how to be safer online. I have copied some links to relevant sites that may help parents/carers with a starting place or answer FAQs. 

Our children may have access to different devices that access the internet.
