We would like to remind all families about the importance of keeping children safe while they are online. The internet offers many benefits for learning, communication and play, but it also carries risks that children may not always recognise.
The Department for Education has published guidance to help parents understand these risks and learn how to support their children to stay safe online. You can read the advice here:

This page includes practical guidance on:
- Talking to your child about online safety
- Setting parental controls
- Understanding risks such as inappropriate content, online grooming, cyberbullying, and more
- Links to trusted organisations for further advice and support.
We encourage all parents and carers to take a few minutes to read the information and discuss online safety at home. Working together helps us ensure that children stay safe, happy, and confident when using the internet.
If you have any questions or would like further support, please let us know.
