At School
Children at Hale use the internet on a regular basis as part of their learning. Children all need to understand the internet and how they can use it positively, safely and to their benefit. In school we have regular ‘e-safety’ activities to remind children of the importance of keeping themselves safe online. Our internet rules are displayed around the school. See the links to view.
At Home
As a school we recommend that Key Stage 1 and 2 children should always have a responsible adult with them when online. When letting children use websites, it is always worth checking the terms and conditions of the website – many websites have minimum ages – for example, Facebook has a policy which states you must be 13 or over to have an account.
As your child’s parent or carer you are in the ideal position to help them learn how to avoid potential problems and get the most out of the internet. It is also really important to chat with your children on an on-going basis about staying safe online. Here are some starting points.
Below are some useful links to help you to keep your children safe online.
