Safer Internet Day

Safer Internet Day 2020

11th February is Safer Internet Day, when we stop to think about our online behaviour. The topic of internet safety is an incredibly important issue in today’s society. It is imperative that children are not only taught about internet safety, but also that their use of communication platforms is monitored and appropriate for their age.
 
The topic of internet safety is covered in our classrooms, however a number of worrying cyber-issues continue to be reported in the school. I ask all parents/guardians to discuss your children’s use of communication platforms (text messages and/or communication apps and/or social media platforms).

​To assist parents I attach a series of resource sheets produced by www.nationalonlinesafety.com, a UK organisation that focuses on keeping children safe online.  
 
Below you will find the following information sheets:
  • 7 Questions to Help You Start a Conversation With Your Child About Online Safety
  • Online Safety Tips for Children
  • What Children Need to Know About Online Bullying
  • What Parents Need to Know About TikTok
  • What Parents Need to Know About YouTube
  • What Parents Need to Know About YouTube Kids
  • What Parents Need to Know About Instagram
  • What Parents Need to Know About WhatsApp
  • What Parents Need to Know About Online Challenges

The websites www.webwise.ie and www.saferinternetday.ie are also invaluable resources to parents and children to learn about internet safety. 
 
There have been a number of very worrying cases where children were placed in extremely vulnerable and unsafe situations as a result of their on-line, social media and communication platform use. Our pupils are asked not to engage on any platform with anybody that they do not know in real life, to engage appropriately when communicating with their real friends and to abide by the terms of use of all social media platforms; in particular the age restrictions that are in place on communication and social media platforms. It is imperative that we are all conscious of internet safety and meet our responsibilities with regard to keeping children safe when they use the internet or any social media and communication platforms.

Yours Sincerely,
Kieran Lyons
Principal
