A huge thank you to those parents/carers who were able to attend the E-Safety meeting led by international E-Safety consultant, Traci Good. I hope you all found it useful and took away a number of key messages to think about to ensure that your child continues to be kept safe when online. Traci was able to share her extensive knowledge on a range of online apps and especially the main dangers children are facing when accessing them. A variety of different links that you can access at home to ensure that you are fully aware of the dangers and how you can deal with them if they were to arise are below. At Sketchley, we will continue to educate your child at school during our Computing and PSHCE lessons to make sure that they understand how to use online apps, games and the internet in a safe way.
