This week’s #WakeUpWednesday post provides links to useful websites where you can get advice about Online Safety and how to talk to your child about it.
Firstly, the UK Safer Internet Centre is a leading global partnership helping to make the internet a great and safe place for everyone. They are a bridge between Government, industry, law enforcement and society: the engine of the online protection landscape in the UK, dealing with both prevention and response. It is formed of three charities, Childnet, Internet Watch Foundation and SWGfL, who work together to identify threats and harms online and then create and deliver critical advice, resources, education and interventions that help keep children and young people, and adults, safe.
It has lots of handy guides for parents about lots of different types of technology as well as how to have conversations around Online Safety issues.
Secondly, the NSPCC, the UK’s leading children’s charity have an excellent page about Online safety which contains lots of advice, guides and resources to discuss online safety with children as well as resources about so many other issues to keep children safe which you can find here .
If you have any questions, concerns or want to find our more about how to support your own knowledge and understanding or talk to your children about online safety issues, please contact the school office who will put you in touch with the Safeguarding Team.
