Using the internet safely and positively is a key message that we promote in Shelf J&I School, and celebrating Safer Internet Day is a great opportunity for us to re-emphasise the online safety messages we deliver throughout the year. We have held key stage assemblies and every class will be having specific lessons throughout the week considering how we can stay safe on the internet.
We would be delighted if you could join us in celebrating the day by continuing the conversation at home. To help you with this, you may be interested in downloading the free Safer Internet Day Resources for Parents and Carers which is available at: saferinternet.org.uk/sid-parents.
There are top tips, quizzes, and films which you can use at home with your child.
Some other resources which you may find helpful in supporting your child online are:
- Tips, advice and guides for parents and carers from the UK Safer Internet Centre (org.uk/parents)
- Advice for parents and carers from Childnet (com/parents-and-carers)
- Reviews and information about games, apps, TV shows and websites from Common Sense Media (org)
- Help on using parental controls and privacy settings from Internet Matters (org./controls)
- Information and reporting of online grooming or sexual abuse from CEOP (police.uk)
