Online Safety - Resources for Parents

Understanding the digital world, and the rapid transitions and developments that are made within it, can feel overwhelming at times; keeping up with changes and finding the right information for you can be confusing, particularly with a wealth of resources available. Whilst we work hard to keep children safe in school, we know we need to be in partnership with yourselves as parents and carers to educate and safeguard outside of the school environment. 

So what can you do? We've collated some information below with links to resources to help you keep up to date with digital changes, but also give you a good grounding for what you can share with and talk to your child about.
