Safer Internet Day 2019 – make a family gameplan

Safer Internet Day is an annual opportunity for schools and families to think about how we can make the online world a positive place for children of all ages.

Many of our pupils enjoy gaming at home, with friends and parents. Gaming can be enjoyable, creative and can develop problem-solving and collaborative skills.

You may want to know more about how to support your child if they’re gaming, including:

  • how to participate

  • how to manage their gaming time

  • how to make sure their child is sharing personal information securely.

A gameplan is an agreement you can use to help your child game safely and positively. Please find a gameplan template for your family available to download from this webpage, where you can agree what it is okay for you all to do when gaming.

Internet security is a very important issue to all at Preston Primary School – we hope every child has a safe and happy experience whilst using the internet.

 

Making sure children are accessing age appropriate content is important as part of our role to educate pupils to become responsible internet users. Below is a chart showing the age restrictions placed on different social media app and services.

 

 

Here are some links to websites that will help with tips and information about keeping your child stay safe online (please click on the icons to be taken to the individual websites):

  • Childnet for Parents is a unique interactive e-safety guide for parents and carers produced by Childnet International. It's designed to really help you as a parent or carer keep up to date with how children are using the internet, and support them in using these new exciting services safely and responsibly.
  • Know it All There are lots of parental controls and other online tools to help your child have a safer and more private online experience, many of which are free and easy to set up. Take a look at our guides so you can help to protect them when they are online at home, at a friend’s house or out and about. But remember, controls and tools aren’t always 100% effective and tech-savvy kids sometimes find their way round them.
  • Internet Matters What issues could be affecting your children? Get to grips with what they may come across on the internet and how to get help if you need it. Find out what to do if you’re worried about anything you or your child has seen online.
  • Think You Know A website run by CEOP (Child Exploitation and Online Protection command) - the site contains further separate pages for children (5 - 7 years, 8 - 10 years, 11 - 13 years, 14 years plus, Parents/Carers & Teachers). The age related webpages tackle various online hints and tips written in a relevant way, aimed specifically at the children within the given age bracket.
