Pupil 'User Agreement' in St. Bernard's - online safety
Being online is fun and educational. It can keep you in touch with family and friends. However, sadly there are always things to be aware of. You need to know what to do if you're not happy.
Throughout St. Bernard's Catholic Primary School we aim to teach children:
- about the impact of cyber-bullying and what to do if they have been affected.
- to be vigilant when communicating online recognising that people may not always be who they say they are and to be sensible about what they share.
- to tell an adult they trust if something is upsetting them.
- to question the reliability of information given through a web based source.
- to search responsibly for information while using internet browsers.
WHAT CAN YOU DO IF YOU'RE NOT HAPPY ONLINE?
Children, if you're not happy, speak to us in school - a trusted adult
It is really important that you talk to someone. You are not alone, and adults will listen to you.
