At Beacon Hill Community Primary School we take online safety extremely seriously. We believe that all children have the right to feel safe and secure when using different types of digital technology.
By embedding online safety across our curriculum, we aim to empower children to use the internet and other technologies safely and responsibly. We ensure that all children know what to do if they are uncomfortable with anything they see, hear or experience online and teach them the correct way to report it.
If a child feels uncomfortable with anything they have seen, experienced or know of a peer that they may be concerned about online, then we encourage them to follow these simple steps:

Tell an adult you trust straight away.

During the time your children are learning at home they are likely to be spending more time online. Having access to online resources and learning has many fantastic benefits, however we also need to be aware of the potential risks that exist online.
