Online - Safety for parents
At Horniman school we believe that children should be able to take advantage of the wealth of opportunities that the internet provides. We educate the children about the importance of staying safe online and give them the knowledge and skills to navigate the digital world safely.
The below links are information for parents and carers on how to support your children in staying safe online.We hope you find them useful.
Workshop for parents and carers
Lewisham Council has commissioned the Athena Refuge to deliver 2 x free workshops to empower parents to support their children to access technology safely and positively and what to do if you have any concerns. We know removing technology from our children can seem like a logical solution but sometimes this can in fact increase risks of unsupervised use.
The purpose of this workshop is to increase awareness and provide some useful skills to support parents, by the end of this workshop you should be able to:
Recognise how modern technology can be used to jeopardise young people’s safety
Distinguish between different types of technological abuse that could affect children and young people
Assess the risk factors involved in cases where technology is being used to abuse children and young people
List different ways in which you can empower your children to use technology safely and positively
