Keeping Safe - Internet Safety
Internet Safety
At St Joseph's we take all reasonable measures to ensure the safety of internet users on our premises.
Here is some helpful information for you to keep your children safe whilst using the internet.
The NSPCC has asked 600 primary school children what information they needed to stay safe online. More than 80% said they needed to know more about privacy settings on mobile apps and games. The survey coincides with an update to the Net Aware guide which keeps parents informed of issues around social media sites and online platforms popular with their children. 12 new sites have been added to NetAware which now has over 60 social networking sites, apps and games which children use.
