Safer Internet Day 8th February 2022

Tuesday February the 8th is Safer Internet Day and our ICT co-ordinator Ms Power has circulated a wide range of resources and teaching activities to staff so that they can be used with children to create a greater awareness around internet safety. Each child in the school will also be presented with a Safer Internet wristband.
Internet safety is always of concern to parents, expecially given the ever evolving nature of issues that can arise. Please find below a range of resources to support the role of parents with regard to internet safety.
