Learning about staying safe online is very important. At Caen Community Primary School we make sure our pupils are aware of some of the risks to safety that are online and what to do to stay safe. We have a set of SMART rules which the children are expected to follow at home and in school to make sure they stay safe online. These rules can be viewed above and should be followed when using all kinds of technology such as mobile phones, games consoles and home computers.
Below are some links to good websites with information for parents/ carers and children. Please click on the pictures they will open in a new tab/ window.
