The internet is a superb tool to use when used safely. However, if not used properly it can be extremely dangerous. As part of safety week a member of the Online Safety Team for Sheffield supported the school in delivering a talk to our pupils. Whilst we encourage children to know personal information such as their home address, telephone numbers etc in the event of an emergency it is also important that they know when and when not to give this information out. For example, it is important that they know to give this information out if they need to dial 999. However, it is not okay for them to give this information out online without parents / carers permission (e.g. on the internet, chat rooms, games consoles such as X-Box). If we educate children early this can prevent huge dangers in the future. Please visit the following website and watch the 3 episodes with your child:
