We are teaching and learning in an evolving modern world. We need to work in partnership to help our learners stay safe when online at home and in school. 

Here are some key documents that provide an overview into how we are preparing our learners to stay safe in the modern technological world:

• MBPA E-Safety Policy
• Online Safety Progression.pdf

Here are some useful leaflets and suggestions to use at home to keep your child safe when online: 

Online Safety Suggestions for Home

• Maintain an open dialogue with your child/ren
• Create a family agreement to establish your children’s boundaries and your expectations
• Give your child/ren strategies to deal with any online content that they are not comfortable with
• Consider using filtering software to block unwanted content.
• Explain the dangers of posting content and the trail that can be left behind.
• Understand the law by familiarising yourself with the age ratings for games and apps
• Familiarise yourself with the privacy settings and reporting features
• Set up a family email address that your children can use when signing up to new games and websites online.
• Encourage them never to divulge any personal information such as age, address or contact details to anyone online.
• Encourage your children to use nicknames (where possible) instead of their full name online and create strong passwords for every account.
