E-safety is a term which means not only the internet but other ways in which young people communicate using electronic media, e.g. mobile phones and game consoles. 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 a key part of our curriculum for both Computing and Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship Education (PSHCE).

​

Key to promoting online safety is open and honest discussions about the sites we’re using and the ways we’re using them – keep the dialogue open with your children about their use of the internet.  To support parents in creating a family agreement, Childnet International have put together some free advice and a family agreement template. 

​

The Anti-Bullying Alliance has joined forces with internet security company McAfee to produce this short video on the topic.
