At Holmer Lake the safeguarding of our children is a very high priority. We are committed to ensuring our children are safe in school and online.
Our children are taught how to stay safe and behave appropriately online through discreet e-safety lessons but also across the wider curriculum. (Click here to see more information about our E-Safety curriculum)
We do not believe that banning internet and technology is a solution, educating children about the risks and responsibilities as well as the benefits is key.
- e-safety concerns safeguarding children and young people in the digital world.
- e-safety emphasises learning to understand and use new technologies in a positive way.
- e-safety is less about restriction and more about education about the risks as well as the benefits so we can feel confident online.
- e-safety is concerned with supporting children and young people to develop safer online behaviours both in and out of school.
In order to successfully keep our children safe online we want to support parents to ensure that the e-safety message is consistent and that it allows children to develop safer online behaviours both in and out of school.
The information provided on this page is to support parents in providing more information about ways to educate children in the safe and successful use of the internet at home.
