Online safety information for Year 6 parents5 July 2024 (by Hayley Armstrong (admin)) |
Summer holidays are fast approaching, and we know there can be a lot to think about to get your child ready for secondary school. The move opens a world of opportunities, with new friends and independence, and possibly - a new smartphone.
‘Internet Matters’ have launched a brand new advice hub to help parents, carers and teachers of Year 6 children to understand the benefits and risks of being online and how to keep them safe from harm.
You can explore tools such as parental controls and conversation guides, a digital family agreement and tips shared from other parents and their children.
Their moving to secondary school guide covers online activities, balancing screen time and online issues children may face.
Grow your knowledge as your child grows too. Their guide for parents with children aged 11-13 is filled with tips, a checklist and advice on how to deal with problems that your child may encounter.
Visit their website below for lots of useful hints and tips for staying safe online.
