Online Safety at Home

​Following recent staff training from the Children’s Safeguarding Team we would like to bring to parents attention the issue of online safety at home. In today’s world of technology many of our children are very capable with technology and able to use I Pad’s and Touch Screen Phones without adult help.
​Under 5's - The main aim at this young age is to ensure that the children cannot access unsuitable material accidently with parental control blocks.
In the setting the children do not have unsupervised access to the internet and we are also protected by the schools inbuilt filters.
