Dear Parents,
Welcome to the latest NJS Online Safety update – I have prepared a plethora of links to helpful pages for your perusal!
ParentZone – what would schools normally be telling children about Online Safety?
CEOP Parents advice page
The following link should take you to the CEOP website, and offers an explanation of the CEOP Online Safety for children materials and what they are about. I urge you to watch the whole video, as it also explains the sort of things children are doing online now and what to watch for, or where to find advice if you’re worried:
Online safety Videos for parents
The next series of links go to a range of Online Safety activities for children to complete, with each one taking no more than 15-30 minutes. A few of the activities may be better printed, but you can always copy the text or try to adapt them, or use them visually. Find a way!
The first link is aimed at KS1, but may be of use for ‘younger’ year 3 children:
Suitable for Years 1-3: Online Safety activities for 5-7 year-olds
The following activities are suitable for most children at KS2:
Suitable for Years 3, 4 and 5: Online Safety activities for 8-10 year-olds
The following link is aimed at children who are transitioning Primary/Secondary school, or are already at Secondary school. As with all the materials, I strongly recommend that you watch / examine all the materials for suitability for your children, as some children may not be at the same stages of social media use, so the following link may be less relevant / suitable for your child. You know your children best!
Suitable for Year 6+ only: Online Safety activities for 11-13 year-olds
