Online communication is now an integral part of everyday life for many people. It is a world of fun, communication, information, and knowledge. The children learn about online safety as part of the curriculum, and it is the focus for a number of activities this week. I hope the top tips and websites below are useful, and support you in helping to keep your children safe online.

Top tips include:

• Teach your children never to give out any personal and private information to people that they do not know online
• Ask your children to show you the programs they use online such as; Snapchat Facebook, Twitter or Instagram
• Never let anyone use your password and never use anyone else’s password to access a PC or the Internet
