Internet Safety Guidance for Parents of Bryn Hafod Primary School

The internet is amazing! Children can play, learn, create and connect - opening up a whole world of exciting possibilities. But with the digital world changing all the time, how can you make sure your child’s staying safe?

 

 

Parental Responsibility

"Parents / Carers play a crucial role in ensuring that their children understand the need to use the internet / mobile devices in an appropriate way. The school will take every opportunity to help parents understand these issues through parents’ evenings, newsletters, letters, website / Learning Platform and information about national / local online safety campaigns / literature.  Parents and carers will be encouraged to support the school in promoting good online safety practice and to follow guidelines on the appropriate use of:

• digital and video images taken at school events
• access to parents’ sections of the website / Learning Platform and on-line student / pupil records
• their children’s personal devices in the school"
