Online Safety
At St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, we are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of our pupils and this encompasses safety on-line.
Since the majority of children have computers or ipads at home and statistically they spend an average 2 hours on the internet, we need to protect them from inappropriate images and find ways to prevent them going on websites with inappropriate content. Due to the potential danger that is out there, prevention plays a very important role in shielding our children. Therefore, we need to teach them how to deal with questionable situations when they occur.
If you want to find out more, please visit the CEOP- Child Exploitation and Online Protection- website, where you can find a wealth of information regarding E-safety. It is a division of the Police which deals with this area specifically. Should you or your child have any concerns regarding E-safety at home, please visit the CEOP website. https://ceop.police.uk/
In addition, if you wish to find out more about how we include E-safety to our children at St Joseph’s as part of our Computing curriculum, please read our Computing and E-Safety policy in the documents section.
We are planning to organise an E-safety evening for parents in the near future. We will notify you with the details closer to the time.
