Autumn Term E-Safety Flyer

Every term we are hoping to share an additional flyer with you.

The focus of this flyer will be E-Safety.

As you are aware our children increasingly live in a digital and online world which seems to change and develop almost on a daily basis. As a result it is often difficult to keep up with the latest apps and trends.

In writing this flyer we have focused on the apps which the children tell us that they use most and provided some parental guides for them. These guides highlight the benefits of the apps and some of the potential dangers they pose to children using them.

I have also included a section on how to set parental controls on both Apple and Android devices.

Please contact us if there is a particular app or game you would like information about. If you have any concerns about your child and what they are doing online please speak to your child’s class teacher.
