At Brookside Primary School, we see the internet and other digital and information technologies as powerful tools, which open up new opportunities. Electronic communication helps teachers and students learn from each other. These technologies can stimulate discussion, promote creativity and stimulate awareness of context to promote effective learning.
Whilst we encourage the use of these technologies, we also recognise the need to actively teach and promote their safe use. It is essential that school and parents/carers work together to promote e-safety messages to all the children in our care and to provide guidance to children on how to keep safe online and what to do if they feel uncomfortable in a situation.
Below are a variety of different websites and resources that you can access to keep your children safe in our digital world.
