Children
Always be careful when you are using the internet. It can help you to keep in touch with your friends and help your education – but it can also cause harm – to you and to others.
Remember help is always available at school if you are having any problems online.
Don’t be afraid to talk to your teacher or another adult at school.

Parents/Carers Information
The internet is a wonderful resource in which we use in many useful ways for both pleasure and education. Online Safety is an important part of keeping children safe while using the internet at Our Lady’s Catholic Primary School. We have security measures in place in school to help safeguard pupils from potential dangers or unsuitable material. Any online safety incidents are recorded via CPOMS and managed. Online safety is taught to all pupils through the Knowsley Computing Scheme of Work which explains and demonstrates how to stay safe and behave appropriately online. Additional resources are used from the NSPCC, Child Exploitation and Online Protection Command (CEOPS) and National Online Safety.
We can only be successful in keeping children safe online if we work with parents and carers to ensure the online safety message is consistent. It is important that families speak to their children about how they can keep safe and behave appropriately online. It’s essential to be realistic – banning the internet or technology will not work and it often makes a child less likely to report a problem.
Education around safe use is essential. We seek to support our families by providing some general guidance, information and helpful links through our website. Below you will find our monthly online safety newsletter, Knowsley online briefings for parents and carers and online safety videos that will support you with keeping your child safe online.
