Online Safety
At Norton CEVC Primary School we feel it is very important to provide parents with key information on how they can keep their children safe online. We truly believe that by working with parents we can keep our children safe online. The NSPCC in partnership with O2 have produced some very useful parent guides which are certainly worth a read.
Social Media and mental health are two topics which are often in the news. Please read the information sheet produced by National Online Safety to keep you informed.

In an ongoing attempt to continually drip feed safeguarding and our commitment to online safety, we will be sharing a monthly newsletter, with the support of Knowsley City Learning Centres, to guide parents in keeping up to date with the latest technology. These will be sent electronically and copies can also be found here.

Tips for staying safe online:
· Make sure you keep new online friends strictly online. If someone you don't know asks to be your online friend you must ensure an adult knows about it.
· Know how to use the CEOP Button and how to report it to the CEOP Centre if you are concerned about someone’s online behaviour towards you.
Please have a look at the documents below which relate to what parents need to know about age ratings, managing screen time and screen addiction.
