Online Safety Course for Parents

Online safety is of significant importance as the online world is constantly changing and evolving and with it so do the risks facing children online.  As a school we are members of National Online Safety who are at the forefront of online safety education in the country.  We hope to become a certified school by the end of the year.  They offer an online course (delivered through video) specifically for parents which you are able to access and complete.

You will learn about

  • Unsafe communications
  • Effects to mental health, wellbeing and lifestyle
  • Managing online information 

You will learn about each online danger, what the risks are around each danger, potential signs and what parents, carers and trusted adults can do to help ensure your children stay safe online.
