E-Safety
Dear Parents and Carers,
Online safety is an important part of keeping students safe at Phoenix School.
In this difficult time, we understand how important it is to keep your children safe online.
Using the internet safely and positively is a key message that we promote to all our students. We want to work together with you to reinforce online safety.
We hope this page has lots of ideas and information that you can use at home. Please contact your teacher if you have any concerns or questions.
Use the parent guides and shopper’s checklist from UK Safer Internet Centre to help you ask the right questions and make informed choices when buying or downloading new technology.

Setting Boundaries
ry and set boundaries if needed for safer internet use, this will provide your child with a clear understanding of the limits, expectations and consequences of their behaviour.
Familiarise yourself with the privacy, safety and security tools on new devices; ensure you are in a position to teach your child how to make their accounts private and how to block and report other people online
