Information and Support

Please click on the link below to receive guidance on how to support your child with their online activity. Pupils should be aware that future employers, colleges and universities search for background information about potential employees/pupils. Often, you see news stories where people face the consequences of something they posted online many years previously. This guidance will help them (and you) to use the internet positively and to avoid any future problems.

Staying Safe Online while studying at home during school closures

Thinkuknow has published guidance for parents and carers to support children who may be spending more time online at home while they do their school work and socialise with friends. Suggestions to help parents keep children safe online include: chatting to find out how they use online technology and what it means to them; reminding children to report anything worrying, and how they can do this; and setting up or reviewing parental controls.
