Online Safety
The Oaks Infant School believes that online safety is an essential element of safeguarding children and adults in the digital world, when using technology such as tablets, computers, mobile phones or games consoles.
We identify that the internet and information communication technologies are an important, enjoyable and beneficial part of everyday life. There is a wealth of information and accessibility at our fingertips now and never has communication across the globe been so easy. In order for children to be able to use this technology safely, they must be supported to be able to develop strategies to manage and respond to risk so they can be empowered to build resilience online and most importantly keep themselves and others safe.
Safety online can be categorised into four main areas:
- Content: what the children are being exposed to online
- Conduct: personal online behaviour
- Contact: how they communicate, and who with, online
- Commerce: what they could be drawn into financially
