The safety of your child is of the upmost importance. However, with the digital age well and truly dominating society especially during the current pandemic, it is difficult to ensure their safety when on line.
This week is our Love Thy Neighbour (Anti – bullying week) and this morning we received an email offering a FREE online Digital Safety training for parents and carers that will help with this and wanted to share it with you.
It can be found using the link https://www.kidscape.org.uk/kidscape-programmes/free-digital-safety-training-for-parents-and-carers/ and the information below is taken from the Kidscape website.
We hope you find this useful.
