Internet Safety Help and Advice

This page has been put together to help students find the best help and advice on how to surf the internet safely. It will also remind students of their own responsibilities when using the internet whether they're in school or not.

Below are links to articles and websites that are added every week. The articles and websites are mainly geared towards parents and carers. However, there is no reason why a student cannot look for help and take responsibility for their internet usage. Students could even encourage parents and carers to be safer online.

Every term each computing class is shown a presentation about the Academies Filtering and Monitoring systems. These include information about the ICT Acceptable Use Policy, locking the screen when not in use, external filtering by the school internet service provider (ISP) and internal filtering / monitoring.

Students are reminded how the internal filtering / monitoring works, the different levels of the alerts and the consequences of breaking the ICT Acceptable Use Policy through inappropriate use of the computer network.
