E-Safety
What is E-Safety?
In today’s developing society, children use lots of different technologies such as mobile phones, games consoles and the internet on a daily basis and experience a wide range of opportunities. This level of technology and and the ways in we can communicate are beneficial to all but can occasionally place children, young people and adults in danger if they are not managed appropriately.
E-safety covers these issues and aims to give children the skills that they need in order to use the internet and other technologies safely and how to act if they discover or receive inappropriate communication. E-safety covers internet technologies but also electronic communications via mobile phones, games consoles and wireless technology. It allows children to understand the benefits, risks and responsibilities of using information technology.
- E-safety concerns safeguarding children and young people in the digital world.
- E-safety emphasises learning to understand and use new technologies in a positive way.
- E-safety is less about restriction and more about education about the risks as well as the benefits so we can feel confident online.
- E-safety is concerned with supporting children and young people to develop safer online behaviours both in and out of school.
