Calling all parents and carers! Have you signed up to our National Online Safety Platform?
The online world poses an ever-increasing risk to children, and it is important that schools, parents and carers work together to take an active role in teaching children about online dangers. Learning how to act safely when using the internet is an incredibly important part of safeguarding our children.
