The topic of e-safety has never been more important with the rise of smart phones & chat groups being used by young children and the use of technology and devices in all aspects of our lives. Some parents and schools have started campaigns in different parts of the country with a move away from smartphones for children, trailing different alternatives which is gaining media attention.
In a collaborative partnership with parents, this year we will be opening up conversations, so we can all share our personal experiences, what works or doesn’t work in our households, providing information about parental controls, experiences of secondary schools in an effort to give everyone an informed choice about what they choose for their children.
Thank you to Parent Mrs Renshaw for introducing this at the September Social. Please see a message from her below.
Thank you to all the parents and children who joined in with our stall and sticker-board at the September Social. It was really interesting hearing so many points of view and different concerns over the issue of children, smartphones, and online-safety. It was a great opportunity to get our community talking to each other, sharing ideas, and beginning to look at more ways to support each other to make informed choices for our children and their futures.
