Today is Safer Internet Day! This EU-wide initiative aims to raise awareness of a safer internet for all users, especially children and young people.
Children are increasingly accessing the internet and digital technologies from a younger age, and the online world is very much a part of their lives.
While there are many benefits to using the internet and digital media, there are also many challenges facing children and their families.
We would like to take this opportunity to encourage parents to consider their children’s internet usage, and how they too can support their children to have a safe and positive experience online. Webwise.ie is a valuable website that aims to provide parents with resources, information, and advice on apps, games, and topics like gaming, consent, image-sharing, cyberbullying, screen time, and more. Information can be accessed at the following link https://www.webwise.ie/parents/
The school will be helping to promote this topic over the coming weeks but having regular open conversations is one of the most effective ways of supporting your child online and I would urge parents and guardians to be conscious of their child’s internet usage.
