ONLINE SAFETY

Keeping children

safe online

Young people spend a significant amount of time online. While this offers many opportunities, it also presents risks.

We work with students to help them use technology safely and responsibly, and we support parents in understanding how to keep their children safe online.

RISKS

What to be aware of

Children may encounter a range of risks online, including:

• Contact with people they do not know
• Exposure to inappropriate content
• Cyberbullying
• Pressure through social media or messaging apps

GUIDANCE
