E-Safety
E-Safety is an important part of the children's education, and at Brimpton School it forms part of the curriculum. E-Safety is taught at an age-appropriate level in the classroom, and we also have visits from the local Police Community Support Officer (PCSO), who talks to the older children. Click below to see the PCSO information given to the children about the dangers of the internet, and some important rules for using it safely.
As a parent there are a number of things you can do at home to also help and educate your child to stay safe on-line:
- talk to your child about the dangers posed by the internet
- tell them what they should do if they become worried or concerned
- explain that anything shared online or by mobile phone could end up being seen by anyone
- understand what your child does online and know which websites they visit
- put the computer where the whole family can see it, not out of sight in a bedroom
- use filtering software to block inappropriate sites
- use Parental Controls to restrict the times of access and the type of sites
- look at some of the links below which provide additional information for parents about safe internet use
