Safer Internet Day - 8th February 2024

The KS2 children celebrated ‘Safer Internet Day 2024’ on Thursday 8th February.

They were supported by the local PSO and looked at the theme ‘Inspiring change? Making a difference, managing influence and navigating change online’.

Have a conversation - It is really important to chat with your children on an ongoing basis about staying safe online.

Not sure where to begin? These conversation starter suggestions can help.

• Ask your children to tell you about the sites they like to visit and what they enjoy doing online.

• What games do you and your friends like to play online? Can you show me the websites you visit the most? Shall we play your favourite game online together?

• Ask them about how they stay safe online?

• What tips do they have for you, and where did they learn them? What is OK and not OK to share?

• Ask them if they know where to go for help?

• Where can they go to find the safety advice, privacy settings and how to report or block on the services they use?

• What more could you do to use the internet together? Are there activities that you could enjoy as a family?
