Learning from home
If your child is learning from home for any reason they may be using the computer to complete tasks set by their teachers and communicate with their friends and family. Therefore it is really important that you ensure that they are safe whilst doing so. I have created the following checklist to make it simple and easy for you to check that you have everything in place on your devices in your home to ensure your child’s safety:
- Check your parental controls are up to date on ALL devices and with your internet provider to prevent your children seeing something they shouldn’t. Here are some guides to help you: https://www.nspcc.org.uk/keeping-children-safe/online-safety/parental-controls/
- Speak to your child regularly about staying safe on the internet using this help guide:

- Come up with your own rules as a family about what’s acceptable when using games, apps and sites using this online agreement template:

- Check all devices and use the privacy and location settings to keep your child safe. The NSPCC have a support line to help you with this: 0808 800 5002.
- Set up ‘Google Family Link’ if you haven’t already so you can view your child’s activity and manage their apps. Use the link below:
- If your child is communicating with family and friends through social networking apps this should be done under adult supervision as most of these apps have a minimum age restriction of 12 - 16 years old. Here are some guides to these apps to help you understand how to keep your child safe:
Whatsapp (13 years old)-
What is WhatsApp? A safety guide for parents | Internet Matters
Instagram (15 years old), snapchat (16 years old), tik tok (15 years old) -
Instagram App Review | Common Sense Media
Snapchat App Review | Common Sense Media
TikTok App Review | Common Sense Media
Most importantly help your child to have fun and learn through the internet during these uncertain times.

E-safety workshops...
Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 have online safety workshops each year lead by the cyber team from the West Yorkshire Police. The workshop covers the use of social media and the ages restrictions on social media websites and games. The children learn how to create a good password and communicating safely with others on the internet. Here are some photos...
Here are some e-safety posters made by years 5 and 6 after their workshop...
Here are some quotes from the children during their discussions after the workshop...
Please ask in the office if you are unsure of your child's log in details for any of the above.
