e-Safety Information Evening

2nd February 2016
Thank-you to all our parents who attended our e-Safety Information Evening, led by Craig Thompson. Craig is an e-learning adviser for Cambridgeshire ICT Service, and he shared lots of valuable information with parents at this event.
 
These are Craig's top tips for keeping your children safe online:

 Find out what your child is doing online

    • Be more familiar with their online world
    • Get them to show you – make it clear from the beginning that you’re interested and would like to be involved
    • Agree rules as a family about personal information, time spent online, and contacting people via the internet.…reinforce the SMART rules

 Assess the Risks and Opportunities:

    • Where are the devices?
    • What can they do? 
    • Can your child get online in his / her bedroom? 
    • Have you enabled any parental settings on devices / the internet as it comes into the house?
    • Disable or cover webcams to avoid accidental sharing of images and talk to your child about the risks of sharing images

 Know where to go for help and advice
