Safe surfing
The internet is a fantastic resource for children, and we want to encourage our pupils to use it sensibly and wisely. Here are some further tips to encourage your child to navigate around the internet:
Google Safe Search
If your child uses the Google search engine, ensure you have some filtering to make sure they cannot access inappropriate websites. The 'Safesearch' tool will do this - look for it in the top right corner of the google homepage.

KidSmart has a range of written information and is suitable for older children.
