The online world is posing an ever-increasing risk to children and it is important that schools, parents and carers work together to take an active role in teaching children about online dangers and how to act safely when using the internet.  This has become more prevalent due to Covid-19 and learning being accessed online.

We are therefore delighted to announce that we have shown our commitment to protecting our pupils online and have engaged ourselves with the National Online Safety Community.  This provides a wealth of teaching opportunities for our pupils about keeping safe online as well as providing you as parents and carers with short five minute courses that keep you informed about how to protect your child/ren online.

Please find below the URL you need to visit to register your account.  You will need to complete your details and select “I am a: Parent/Carer” from the dropdown menu:

Once you have registered, you will be able to access the online courses for parents and National Online Safety’s Resources (which includes online platform guides on the latest social media channels and games). This aims to help empower parents with the knowledge to protect their children from the dangers of the internet.

If you have any questions, or trouble accessing the course, please contact support@nationalonlinesafety.com.
