E-Safety Information for Parents
Whilst there are huge benefits to being online, the government recognises many parents may feel concerned about the activities and content their children are accessing. This guidance outlines resources to help keep children safe from different risks online and where to go to receive support and advice.
Frogmore Junior School works hard to make children aware of how to stay safe when they are working and playing online. We know that this is also an important issue for parents, and are keen to share with parents information about "e-safety". Below are some ideas for websites that you may wish to explore:
