For parents

Being online is an integral part of children and young people’s lives. Social media, online games, websites and apps can be accessed through mobile phones, computers, laptops and tablets – all of which form a part of children and young people’s online world.

The internet and online technology provides new opportunities for young people’s learning and growth, but it can also expose them to new types of risks.

E-safety should form a fundamental part of schools’ and colleges’ safeguarding and child protection measures.

What do you do if you click on a website which has pictures or words that upset you?

It is really important that everyone knows how to stay safe when using the internet, what to do if someone is nasty to you or if you see something that upsets you.

If you are using the internet and you see something that upsets you, you need to do one of the next 3 steps:

• Press the minimise button to hide the website.

         You must tell an adult you trust that you have seen something that upsets you.

• If you are using a tablet or a phone, a website is hidden when you press the home button.

        Tell an adult you trust so that they can look at what has upset you.

• You can close the window.

         But it can be better to minimise it. That way, when you tell an adult you trust what has happened they can                 have a look.
