We understand that it is increasingly difficult to keep up with the ways that our children are using new and ever changing technologies. When monitoring your son/daughter’s internet use, please remind yourself of the concerns of social media.

Although we cannot govern matters occurring out of school hours, which is a parental responsibility, we will take action (such as reporting under age profiles) if a problem comes to our attention that involves the safety or wellbeing of any pupils, including reporting the use of inappropriate images of young people to the police, as this is a legal matter. This also refers to inappropriate text messages.

Should you decide to allow your child to have an online profile we strongly advice that you follow the guidelines given for each platform.
