The Internet has changed all of our lives, particularly our children’s, and for parents and carers this opens up a whole new world of things to be aware of, such as social media, forums, cyberbullying and inappropriate websites.
E-safety is one of our key priorities for ensuring our children stay safe at school but there are also some useful resources and tips to help parents keep their child safe online.
Below are a list of resources and websites for you to access.
