St Paul's C of E Primary School
Digital Safety at Home
By having open and honest communications about what digital device they are going to use (computer, tablet, x-box etc.), if they are interacting with others and if so who the other people are (are they talking to their friends from school or people they have not met?) and what they are going to do on the device (use the internet, game, watch YouTube etc.). They are more likely to remain safe online and bring any concerns to you.
Please see links to useful documents and websites below to support your digital parenting. If you wish to receive support for a specific issue that arises at home we have specialised resources available.
