INTERNET SAFETY -
The internet is such an integral part of children's lives these days. It opens up so many educational and social opportunities, giving them access to, quite literally, a world of information and experiences. Whether on a computer at school, a laptop at home, a games console or mobile phone, children and young people are increasingly accessing the internet whenever they can and wherever they are.
If your child understands the risks and can make sensible and informed choices online, they can get the most from the internet and stay safe whilst doing so – particularly from those people who might seek them out to harm them.
Unfortunately some serious issues have come to light regarding children’s use of Facebook and other social networking sites.
Whether or not children are allowed to register with Facebook is of course a matter for parents, but, we feel we need to inform you that some aspects of the way children are using the site are inappropriate and potentially dangerous.
