Children in Years 3,4,5,6 have a regular  E-Safety workshop delivered by PC Parker. She discusses with the children of how to keep themselves safe whilst using the Internet.

We follow the SMART rules for internet safety and these are displayed around school and are regularly shared with the children:

SAFE

Keep your personal information safe. When chatting or posting online don't give away things like your full name, password or home address. Remember personal information can be seen in images and videos you share too.

MEET

Do not meet up with someone you only know online, even a friend of a friend, as they are still a stranger. If someone you only know online ever asks you to meet up, for personal information or for photos/ videos of you then tell an adult straight away and report them together on www.thinkuknow.co.uk 

ACCEPTING

Think carefully before you click on or open something online (eg links, adverts, friend requests, photos) and do not accept something if you are unsure who the person is or what they've sent you.

RELIABLE

You cannot trust everything you see online as some things can be out of date, inaccurate or not entirely true. Always compare 3 websites. check in books and talk to someone about what you find online.

TELL

Tell a trusted adult if something or someone ever makes you feel upset, worried or confused. You could talk to a teacher, parent, carer or a helpline like Childline 0800 11 11.

 ❤️ Heart: Remember to always be smart with a heart by being kind and respectful to others online. Make the internet a better place by helping your friends if they are worried or upset by anything that happens online.
