E-Safety
As the use of the internet, whether on computers or tablets, is now such a significant component of all our lives, the need for E-Safety for our children is something that cannot be underestimated.
Whilst we have strict policies involving the close supervision of any of our pupils who access such technology at Valley School, we are well aware of how capable some of the children are in these areas. We do appreciate that it is increasingly difficult for parents and guardians to monitor every moment of their child’s online activity at home.
The following guides offer some excellent information and advice on the subject.
