Safe Surfing

 

 

The internet is an extremely valuable tool which is used everyday in education by a range of people including teachers and children. It is hard to imagine life in the classroom without access to the internet.

At Adderlane we have a range of systems in place to ensure safe surfing from our children, such as protection through Northumberland County Council who provide us with our broadband. If our children need to access the internet for work related studies, they do so through sites approved by their class teacher. Any surfing is done under the supervision of their class teacher.

For advice on using the internet at home there are a number of websites which provide useful information. These can be found below:

http://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/ Thinkuknow is an excellent website including information for different age groups up to 16, including 5-7.

http://www.ceop.gov.uk/ This site includes a section dedicated "Purely for Parents"

http://www.childnet-int.org/ Childnet boasts to "help make the internet a great and safe place for children"
