Online Safety
In today’s world it can be difficult to make sure that our children are always staying safe online.
Children at King Street Primary School are taught about how to keep themselves safe online, with lessons about the dangers of sharing personal information or photographs, the age limits on social media platforms and what to do if they see any content online that makes them worried.
Families should be aware of how to set up parental controls on children’s devices to make sure that any content they are accessing is age appropriate.
