Online Safety
The internet is always changing, and being able to keep up to date with your children’s use of technology can be a challenge, especially if you feel that your children may have better technical skills than you do.
However, children and young people still need support and guidance when it comes to managing their lives online and using the internet positively and safely.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any concerns about Online Safety.
Any issues around suspected grooming please report your concern to CEOP, visit the CEOP web page for more information.
