Online Safety
Online Safety is something we take very seriously at Littlebourne School. Children have lessons on keeping safe online and our computer Leaders lead assemblies and visit classes to share the important message of how to stay safe online.
Children not only have access to the internet through computers and laptops, but also on mobile phones, games consoles and tablets. This makes it increasingly difficult to monitor and supervise their online activity. Yet, alongside all the benefits of the internet, we are all aware of the very real dangers it poses.
Here are some of the “golden rules” to help protect your child online.
Consider stopping all internet activity an hour before bedtime and storing devices in a central place at night when your child goes to bed. This helps to protect your child’s sleep pattern and prevent late night conversations!
Some parents have talked to us about using Parental Control functions for computers, mobile phones and games consoles to block unsuitable content and to help prevent contact from unknown people.
Here are some links which we hope will be helpful:
