e-Safety

e-Safety

Computing, formerly known as ICT, is an integral part of teaching and learning at Park Road Community Primary School. The children benefit from a wide range of technical resources, with online capabilities at the centre of their learning.

However, access to the internet and other e-learning resources requires training, guidance and advice to ensure that everyone learns in a safe environment. Along with the training the children receive within school, we have compiled a list of sites which offer guidance to children and parents on the safe use of e-learning tools. Check them out for lots of great safety tips.

• www.parentsprotect.co.uk - This site holds lots of good information for parents.
• www.thinkuknow.co.uk - If you are a clued up kid or a puzzled pensioner, there is something here to help you get the most from the internet.
• www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/topics/stay-safe - Learn to stay safe whilst you use the internet with Hacker and the Horrible Histories team.
• www.getsafeonline.org - Most government websites are boring, but this one is great for your parents to learn how to keep you safe online.
