Keeping Safe

E-Safety

As part of our commitment to online safety, our students regularly complete surveys. This allows us to track changing habits and to tailor our online safety education accordingly.

At what age can my child start social networking?

As a parent it’s important you know that all social networking platforms (or social networking apps, if on a smartphone) have age limits. Some social networks use technologies that may not be right for some ages or engage with communities that are made up of people much older than your child.

You can find out more about this and have all your questions answered at Internet Matters here.

Please take the time to read our E-Safety policy on our policies pages. Young people grow up in a technology rich world. With new opportunities, come some risks. It is important that we make children aware of the risks and encourage them to adopt appropriate patterns of behaviour when using ICT. With this in mind, our students read and sign an acceptable use agreement on entry to the centre, then re-sign every year.
