Working Together With Parents
Our partnership with parents and carers is central to keeping children safe online.
Parents and carers can help their children to:
- Evaluate what they see online, thinking critically about information and media.
- Recognise techniques used for persuasion such as targeted adverts, influencers, or misinformation.
- Understand unacceptable online behaviour
- Identify online risks, such as scams, cyberbullying, grooming, or oversharing.
- Know how and when to seek support, including contacting our Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) with concerns, and how to report concerns to the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP)
Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP)
Together, we can help our young people to use technology confidently, responsibly, and safely.
