E-Safety

The National Curriculum states that children should:

• be discerning in evaluating digital content

• use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly; recognise acceptable/unacceptable behaviour; identify a range of ways to report concerns about content and contact

We achieve this at Hayes by ensuring our e-safety lessons:

• are current and are based on the needs of pupils today
• build digital resilience in pupils
• open lines of communication between pupils, parents and the school
• give children the confidence to speak out if they have made mistakes online
• place an emphasis on online dangers such as grooming

Everyone must keep personal information private

Sharing online….  Would you share it with your granny?

Accept friend requests from only your real friends

Feelings matter – be bright, light and polite

Everything that goes online stays online forever

Tell an adult if you have concerns

You can make a difference to the online environment!
