Online Safety

At Crofton we take children's online safety very seriously; our e-safety policies, including our student acceptable use policies, form the basis of our e-safety teaching.  Adopting these rules at home will help to strongly reinforce these safety messages.

E-SAFETY ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY 

KS1 Acceptable Use Policy - The golden rules 

KS2 Acceptable Use Policy - 12 rules for responsible use

There are two important websites that we would like to make you aware of – both of which will help to further secure your family browsing.

CEOP - Child exploitation and Online Protection

Think you know - parent advice 

Additional resources:

• We will publish the latest advice from National Online Safety.  The #WakeUpWednesday campaign is viewed as one of the most trusted and reputable learning resources in the UK, providing expert advice on the latest platforms and online risks that parents and carers need to know about.

• THINK THEN CLICK This poster has been displayed prominently in all areas where children access ICT, and should you decide to place one near your home PC, this will support the school's practice very effectively.
• Smart Primary ZCards
• The 'Internet Matters' E-Safety App (Apple users only) - an interactive app which is great to play with children 8-10 years old.  The app is based on a two player game with questions and scenarios to discuss with children. It gives parents the opportunity to pause for discussion about a variety of E-Safety areas. Link to get the app.
