E Safety
At St Joseph's we believe that working in conjunction with our parents is the best way to ensure the safety of the children when online.
Last year Steve Manning came into school to share information on how to be "savvy" when trying to monitor online and gaming habits. It was interesting to hear what he had to say about how parental awareness of apps and gaming can significantly impact our children's safety when faced with potential risks.
Some questions to ask yourself are:
It is our responsibility as parents to be aware of what our children are doing online and with whom.
If you would like support or information regarding checking settings talk to your child's class teacher who will be happy to help.
