Safer Internet Day took place on 8 February 2022 and this year’s theme was ‘All fun and games? Exploring respect and relationships online’.
As a school we are going to be teaching safer internet over the coming weeks in a broad and holistic way across our Learning4Life lessons, ICT lessons and in various assemblies across the whole school.
However, we thought that some of the resources created for and around Safer Internet Day could be useful for parents.
The links below from Safer Internet Day’s website are brilliant as conversation starters with your children, whether they are 3 or 13.
- Top tips for under 11 year olds
- Top tips for 11-18 year olds
- Top tips for parents
This local guidance is a useful tool – A Guide to Keeping Your Child Safe Online. Please click to view and download.
