Information for Parents
Technology and the Internet can be fantastic – they can help our children to learn, to create amazing things, to communicate and to entertain themselves and each other. Our children are surrounded by this technology – it is part and parcel of their daily lives.
Using technology and the Internet well is about using it safely and responsibly. Things can go wrong by accident or if behaviour isn’t sensible or respectful. Our job is not to stop our young people from using technology but to ensure that they have the necessary knowledge, skills and understanding to successfully navigate themselves through the online world, so they become good digital citizens.

We have been using the story of Smartie the penguin to help us to keep safe online. In the story Smartie gets a new tablet for his birthday! He enjoys using it but then things start popping up on the screen, his brother uses a site that Smartie shouldn't be on, and some of his friends are unkind to him online. We talked about what Smartie should do in each scenario and agreed that the best thing to do is to tell a trusted adult. We used the chant "Before you tap and click, you need to stop and think, and tell someone" to help us to remember what to do if something happens to us online. We then spoke about who we would talk to if something happened to us online and drew posters of our trusted adults with the chant above.
