Online Safety

Computer technology changes at a fast pace and it is essential we give our children the skills to enjoy the wealth of information at their finger-tips but also how to keep themselves safe when on-line. Children are accessing the Internet more and more frequently through mobile phones, tablets, gaming consols and social media is an increasingly important communication tool. At Manor Park we value the use of computer technology and aim to teach our children how to keep themselves safe now & in the future when on-line.

The School Parent Forum have created support leaflets on areas of e-safety; available to download below. These leaflets have been created by parents of pupils at Manor Park for other parents. We hope you find them a useful support. There are links to other sites for further information contained within.
