cyber+safety



Cybersafety is a growing issue for parents and one that should not be overlooked. We have a cybersafety policy at school, with educational programmes to support this. However it is important that cybersafety is reinforced in the home environment too. Below are some hints and links to help you keep your children safe online.


 * Cybersafety education is of number one importance, we can block sites and add filters but no filter is fail proof so children need to be aware of how to stay cybersafe and practice doing so.
 * Monitor your child's internet use, have the computer in a communal room so you can regularly view what they are doing.
 * www1.k9webprotection.com is a free filter that allows you to block sites. It also allows you to monitor the sites that are being visited.
 * Have up to date virus protection.
 * Do not open unknown emails.
 * Reinforce to your children that they must never provide personal information over the internet.
