E-Safety
Children at St. Margaret's use the Internet on a regular basis as part of their learning. In school, we have regular 'e-safety' activities to remind children of the importance of keeping themselves safe online.
At home, sometimes children can be given unsupervised access to the Internet. This, potentially, allows them to access all kinds of society (both good and bad) and bring them virtually into their homes.
The following websites offer support to parents and carers regarding e-safety.
The 2 Johns
The 2 Johns work throughout Essex and nationally and have a wealth of knowledge about the online world and e-safety. They are both qualified police trainers and used to work as detectives. It is well worth taking a look at their website.
