At Brookvale Primary School we are committed to keeping the children in our care safe. In today’s digital world, we are aware of the fantastic opportunities educationally and otherwise that the internet brings. However, we are also extremely aware and mindful of the potential risks that children may face when they access the internet using the technology that is at their fingertips on a day to day basis.
Children have regular E-Safety training in school which is delivered before the start of a lesson when they maybe using technology, as part of discrete Computing lessons, assemblies and also through external sources. We also offer E-Safety meetings for parents and carers with our local PCSO.
The CEOP link above will take you to the Child Exploitation Online Protection Website, where you or your child will be able to report to the police any concerns about online sexual abuse or the way someone has been commincating with them.
Below, are some useful website links. Some of the sites have information just for parents, carers or teachers and others have interactive areas and information for children too. Please take a look yourself first then with your child explore some of the sites that are aimed at children.
