Online Safety

e-Safety is an important part of keeping children safe at St Rose's School . We have  security measures in place in school, to help safeguard pupils from potential dangers or unsuitable material.

Any e-Safety incidents are recorded and managed.  e-Safety is taught to all pupils explaining and demonstrating how to stay safe and behave appropriately online.

We can only be successful in keeping children safe online if we work with parents to ensure the e-Safety message is consistent. It is important that parents speak to their children about how they can keep safe and behave appropriately online.

Resources we use to teach on-line safety

On-line safety is part of our computing curriculum at school. We also use the Digiduck story resources from Childnet to support our young children's understanding of how to stay safe on-line. 

Digiduck has been specially developed to help parents / carers and teachers educate children aged 3 -7 years old about on-line safety. Digiduck resources contain stories, videos and posters. 

The Digiduck series helps children to learn about being a good friend on-line, safe gaming, the reliability of information on the internet and positive uses of the internet. 

Parents / Carers can find out more about DigiDuck and watch the videos using the link below.
