Parental E Safety Resources

E-safety is the term used to describe the safe use of not only the internet but all the other ways in which young people communicate using electronic media, e.g. mobile phones and tablets.  It means ensuring that children and young people are protected from harm and supported to achieve the maximum benefit from new and developing technologies without risk to themselves or others.
 
E-safety is an integral part of the teaching curriculum within our school.
