Online Safety
As a school we buy in online safety expertise and support from Knowsley City Learning Centres. As part of this arrangement we receive the monthly online safety newsletters which are posted on the school website, as well as three parent/carer information sessions a year, one each term.
These sessions are designed to support parents/carers in protecting their children and to help them understand the risks associated with using technology. The sessions will cover:
- Current trends – what children are doing online, what apps/ games are popular amongst children.
- Understanding the Risks – a look at the risks associated with using technology, in particular when using social media, online gaming & live streaming.
- What can you do – some suggestions for how you can support your child with their online lives and what parental controls are available to help you.
- Further Support – signposting to services that are available to help you if you need it.
These sessions will be repeated termly to provide multiple opportunities for parents to attend but parents only need to attend one as content will be fairly similar (just updated as and when required). They last around 30 min followed by a 15 min Q&A session if required. The summer term session will be taking place on Wednesday 8th May 2024, 4.00pm – 4.45pm. I will send out joining details next week. Sessions are recorded so can be watched at any time afterwards.
Best wishes
