Useful Information for Parents
 
The home is a great place to support their learning and understanding. One of the most important things to emphasise to your child is how to use the Internet safely. At school we think about being:
 
- keep personal details safe.
- do not meet anyone you have only spoken to online.
- do not accept a document or website link from someone you don't know.
- is this website a reliable information source?
- do I need to tell someone about what is happening?
Vodafone also produce a great Digital Parenting magazine for parents - providing you with a wealth of resources and ideas for keeping your family safe online.

Our recent e-Safety Information Evening for parents was a great opportunity to find out more about how to keep your children safe online. See the top tips below, from Cambridgeshire ICT Service.

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
