At Lime Tree, we are delighted to provide children with the opportunity to use a wide range of resources to deliver our curriculum
As children move up through our school, their access to various types of technology increases and it stands to reason that their exploration and curiosity increases too.
The positives of the digital world overwhelmingly outweigh the negatives but children, schools and parents all need to be aware of the various online risks. Your help is still needed to prevent children accessing inappropriate material at home by way of filters and parental controls.
Helping parents keep their children safe online
Over the past year we have seen more and more people accessing services through the internet and spend more time online either for work, school or socialising.
The three Safeguarding Children Boards across Bedfordshire are working together to raise awareness amongst children, young people and their parents about staying safe online. We will be producing a bulletin on a quarterly basis to provide parents, professionals and young people with advice, guidance and top tips for staying safe on-line. Information will be taken from InternetMatters.org.
Through the links below you can get expert support and practical tips to help children benefit from connected technology and using the internet safely and smartly.
The internet is an amazing place!
Children can play, learn, create and connect - opening up a whole world of exciting possibilities. But with the digital world changing all the time, how can you be sure that your child is staying safe?
On this page you will find information and resources to help you with keeping your children safe online.
