On-Line Safety

At Holy Brook School we work hard to keep your child safe at all times. Please find below some useful information to help you to keep your child safe when they are on-line. 

The National On-Line Safety website provides really useful guides to help parents/carers with social media apps and platforms. 

If you are worried about online hate, extremism or fake news this straight forward guide will help 

Does your child know the SMART rules?

1. Safe: Keep safe by being careful not to give out personal information when you’re chatting or posting online. Personal information includes your email address, phone number and password.
2. Meet: Meeting someone you have only been in touch with online can be dangerous. Only do so with your parents’ or carers’ permission and even then only when they can be present. Remember online friends are still strangers even if you have been talking to them for a long time.
3. Accepting: Accepting emails, messages, or opening fi les, images or texts from people you don’t know or trust can lead to problems – they may contain viruses or nasty messages!
4. Reliable: Someone online might lie about who they are and information on the internet may not be true. Always check information by looking at other websites, in books, or with someone who knows. If you like chatting online it’s best to only chat to your real world friends and family.
5. Tell: Tell a parent, carer or a trusted adult if someone, or something, makes you feel uncomfortable or worried, or if you or someone you know is being bullied online.
