Internet Safety at Home
Eliot Bank works in partnership with parents to educate the children about internet safety and help keep them safe when using technology.
The internet is always changing, and being able to keep up to date with your children’s use of technology can be a challenge, especially if you feel that your children may have better technical skills than you do. However, children and young people still need support and guidance when it comes to managing their lives online and using the internet positively and safely.
A simple and effective way to get involved with your children and their lives online is through discussion. By maintaining an open dialogue with your child and encouraging them to talk to you about their internet use parents can help children access the amazing resources the internet has to offer whilst keeping them safe online.
One of the best ways to start a conversation about the information contained on the internet and alerting children to the potential consequences of irresponsible use is to discuss the age appropriate Rules for ICT Use (EYFS, KS1 or KS2).
