UNCRC: Parents: E-safety

Article 17 (access to information from the media) Every child has the right to reliable information from a variety of sources, and governments should encourage the media to provide information that children can understand. Governments must help protect children from materials that could harm them.

Our children today are growing up in a very different world from the one we grew up in.  Most children these days have regular access to the internet via PCs, games consoles and mobile technologies.  Whilst this instant communication offers fantastic opportunities for learning it is our responsibility as adults to ensure we keep our children safe from any dangers or images that could upset them.

Gabalfa Primary School has a robust e-safety policy in place which was written by our LEA ratified by our Governing body.  

All pupils from Year 2 upwards receive e-safety lessons as part of their curriculum and an annual visit from the local Police Officer to talk about the issue of Cyber-bullying.

Pupils receive assemblies dealing with the issue of e-safety.

Please support us by talking to your child about e-safety issues and monitoring what they are doing online and while using technology.
