Knowing how to stay safe online and how to help protect ourselves and our families is very important and vital to us all at SMFR.

Understanding and monitoring our families and our own use of the internet can be tricky but it is so important to be aware of.  Here is a straight forward and useful guide for Children and Parents to help with this.  

Always be careful when you are using the internet. It can help you to keep in touch with your friends and help your education – but it can also cause harm – to you and to others.

Remember help is always available at school if you are having any problems online.

Don’t be afraid to talk to your teacher or another adult at school.

Tips for staying safe online:

• Make sure you keep new online friends strictly online. If someone you don't know asks to be your online friend you must ensure an adult knows about it.
• Know how to use the CEOP Button and how to report it to the CEOP Centre if you are concerned about someone’s online behaviour towards you.
