As a school, we teach e-safety and give children the necessary information they need to stay safe online and to act responsibly in such virtual communities.  Parents and care-givers also have a vital role in helping prepare their children to go online before they start to use social media platforms, as well as monitoring responsible use of these on a regular basis.  Together you can look at the key things they need to know about staying safe online, critical thinking,. and the safety settings available.
