Staying safe when I am on the internet 

Are you 8-10 years old? Play the Band Runner game below from The Thinkuknow website

The Band Runner game provides clear and practical safety advice under the following headings:

• Play – Playing games online
• Like – Being kind to others online
• Share – Sharing videos and photos online
• Chat – Talking to others online
• Lock – Keeping information private
• Explore – Exploring the internet

The website also has a ‘Worried about something’ section offering advice and support to children who are feeling worried, scared or upset about something which has happened online.

When your child is using devices at school or at home, it is important that they are aware of who to speak to if they see something that is inappropriate or makes them feel uncomfortable. The 'See it, Say it, Report it' poster above will indicate what has been discussed with your child at school. We would encourage you to reinforce this at home also.
