Online 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 or tablet at home, a games console or mobile phone, children and young people are increasingly accessing the internet whenever they can and wherever they are.

At Lamberhead Green we encourage our children to enjoy and use the internet to enhance their learning and the curriculum and to access useful educational information and materials. We routinely teach our children about internet safety as part of our ICT curriculum.

Your role as parent is also crucial in ensuring your child is safe when using the internet. As you would protect your child in the real world, you will want to make sure that they are safe whatever they are doing. Like learning to cross the road, online safety skills are skills for life. 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.
