LOOK OUT for the NEW ST. BERNARD'S MONTHLY 'SAFEGUARDING NEWSLETTER'10 May 2024 (by admin) |
The MAY 2024 edition is flying your way today through the wonders of technology. And yes, technology is a wonderful thing! However, technology can also be a world where parents worry about their children, worry about what their children are doing.
Parents worry about the online world (the online world they see, and the online world they don't see!).
Parents worry about digital addiction and time usage on mobile phones/tablets.
It is something as a school we worry about also and we want to educate our children about being sensible and mature while surfing the wonders of the technological world.
It was in the national news this week about SOCIAL MEDIA companies taking more responsibility for what children have access to. Children are accessing inappropriate material that is far too easy for them to access. It is completely unacceptable, wrong, and damaging young minds.
It all starts however at home, and we are trying to help you, signpost you to different organisations/websites, and give you the latest monthly updates...all about CHILDREN and the ONLINE WORLD, and HOW YOU CAN HELP THEM STAY SAFE!
Thank you.
