NSPCC - Internet Safety

7th Feb 2019

On Wednesday we were delighted to welcome Margaret Gallagher from the NSPCC to Camphill to lead an information session for parents and staff on how to keep our children safe online. 

The wealth of information that was shared about the content of popular apps and gaming highlighted the fact that online life is becoming so fast moving that adults can very easily be falling behind with their own online knowledge! 

The NSPCC have recently developed a partnership with O2 and Margaret shared with us that all O2 stores have now ‘gurus’ who will help anyone with information about devices and online safety etc.

All participants on Wednesday also went home with a booklet called ‘Your child’s online world’ -a guide for parents’ and school have requested another 300 copies so that we can send a copy home to every family as the information is of benefit to everyone! Look out for this coming home in the next few weeks! 

Other very useful apps or websites mentioned were - www.internetmatters.co.uk 

                                                                          www.nspcc.org.uk/shareaware 

                                                                               www.net-aware.org.uk- also as an app ‘Net Aware’

If you want to find out about apps and gaming before purchasing or downloading - please download the fantastic app called ‘Net Aware’ - this app gives parents lots of information that often parents wouldn’t know! 

 

Camphill PS staff take keeping safe online very seriously and are trying their best to encourage our young people to do the same - next Friday at 1:30pm (15th Feb’ 19) all staff will be taking part in further online safety training being organised by C2K, our school computer providers.  Please note to allow time for this please remember school will close at 1pm.
