Welcome To
Online Safety
Pupils at Carr Head Primary School have access to a range of online materials that enrich and extend teaching and learning opportunities. The benefits to teaching and learning are many and varied. The school has clear aims in relation to school safety.
Our school aims to:
• Have robust processes in place to ensure the online safety of pupils, staff, volunteers and governors
• Deliver an effective approach to online safety, which empowers us to protect and educate the whole school community in its use of technology
• Establish clear mechanisms to identify, intervene and escalate an incident, where appropriate
Carr Head children are taught to use technology safely and respectfully, keeping personal information private. Children are taught to identify where to go for help and support, and when they have concerns about content or contact on the internet or other online technologies.

Lots of us will continue to rely on technology over the winter break, for entertainment and keeping in touch with friends and family. Here are some useful articles to help parents and carers keep their children safer online:
