Safeguarding and Online Safety

At Briar Hill the children are taught about keeping safe online from Reception onwards. The children are taught protective behaviours following the 'Taking Care' project to manage their own personal safety.  For online safety we use several methods including books, videos, games and activities to support their learning The children are taught how to use technology safely, responsibly and respectfully and are given strategies to report concerns or any inappropriate behaviour.  We have provided links to sites for further support and information to keep your children safe when they are online at home.
