Online Safety

Online safety is an integral part of children’s education in today’s digital world and is embedded in their learning at school. At St Joseph's, we want to help our parents/carers and children improve their own understanding of online safety issues so they can learn to use the internet and all digital media in a safe and secure way.

As a parent/carer you'll know how important the internet is to children - they use it to learn, play, socialise and express themselves. However, the technology children use every day can seem a bit daunting and you might worry about the risks your child can face online. 

This section of our website aims to provide practical support and information to aid parents/carers in ensuring your child is safe online.
