Supporting parents and carers with e-Safety

9th January 2023J Ranson

RESCHEDULED DATE!

e-Safety is an important part of keeping children safe in the modern world, and teaching children how to be safe online is a responsibility that we all share. Last term we launched our new e-Safety webpage, which includes weekly tips, safety guidance and information on popular apps, games and websites that are popular with children.
We would like to invite all KS3 parents/carers to our Keeping Children Safe Online information evening on Wednesday 11 January 2022, starting at 5.30pm. The evening will include a presentation providing advice and guidance to parents and carers on how to support their child’s use of apps, games and websites, followed by an opportunity to ask any questions to Miss Laing and the Senior Leadership Team.
If you have any further questions about the information evening, please contact Miss Laing at [email protected].
