On Friday the PSNI Community police officers Karen and Alan delivered an e-safety talk to the KS1 and KS2 children. Both groups were given advice on how to stay safe online, how to report something they are uncomfortable with and how to behave online. These are very important messages for our children, we would encourage you to monitor your child's online activity and follow the advice below.
As parents and carers, our natural desire is to keep our children safe. From learning to cross the road, ride a bike or swim, parents have to teach, guide and support their children - the online world is no different. The best ways to defend against online risks are openness, awareness and education. Talk to your children about their online lives, share their experiences and learn from them, help them to use technology positively and responsibly and give them boundaries, guidance and support.
