Happy New Year! 

As we begin a new term and a new year, we are sure that many of you have acquired new devices into your households.  It can be a minefield, making sure that we are keeping ourselves and our families safe online.

Attached is a free online safety guide from the National Online website, focused on staying safe on new devices.  It highlights a number of tips such as double-checking your news sources, taking breaks from being online and on sharing personal information.

As usual, if you have any concerns regarding your child’s safety online, please don’t hesitate to speak to your child’s class teacher.
