--- title: "Online Safety Links" url: "https://www.ortoncofeprimary.co.uk/online-safety-links" school: "Orton C of E School" --- # Online Safety Links ## Information for Parents/Carers about Keeping Safe Online Online safety is an important part of keeping children safe at Orton Primary School. We have extensive security measures in place in school, which are monitored both internally and externally, to help safeguard pupils from potential dangers or unsuitable material. Any online safety incidents are recorded and managed. Online safety is taught to all pupils explaining and demonstrating how to stay safe and behave appropriately online. We can only be successful in keeping children safe online if we work with parents to ensure the Online Safety message is consistent. It is important that parents speak to their children about how they can keep safe and behave appropriately online. **It’s essential to be realistic - banning the internet or technology will not work and it often makes a child less likely to report a problem. Education around safe use is essential.** - [Digital Parenting Tips](https://www.unicef.org/parenting/digital-parenting?utm_source=email&utm_medium=parenting&utm_term=parents&utm_campaign=safer-internet-day-en) - [Step by Step Guides to Setting up Parental Controls on Devices](https://www.internetmatters.org/parental-controls/) - [Internet Matters](https://www.internetmatters.org/) - [Digital Parenting](https://www.vodafone.co.uk/mobile/digital-parenting/) - [Check if Your Email or Phone is in a Data Breach](https://haveibeenpwned.com/) - [NSPCC Parental Controls](https://www.nspcc.org.uk/keeping-children-safe/online-safety/parental-controls/) - [National Crime Agency Cyber Crime Resources](https://nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/what-we-do/crime-threats/cyber-crime/cyberchoices#Parent) - [Squid Game - Oct 2021](https://nationalonlinesafety.com/wakeupwednesday/squid-game-trending-across-platforms-what-parents-need-to-know) Child Online Safety Extremism Awareness Guidance Booklet 2022 1.52 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/orton-c-of-e/files/documents/child_online_safety__extremism_awareness__guidance_booklet_2022.pdf) [![](https://files.schudio.com/orton-c-of-e/images/imgi_2_8310d776-5eb1-48c4-92a1-bfe1b604df22_1x1.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/orton-c-of-e/images/imgi_2_8310d776-5eb1-48c4-92a1-bfe1b604df22_1x1.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/orton-c-of-e/images/imgi_3_d91e48fc9e664cfc94a7c5bbf8bd751e_1x1.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/orton-c-of-e/images/imgi_3_d91e48fc9e664cfc94a7c5bbf8bd751e_1x1.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/orton-c-of-e/images/imgi_4_aa5f04e83c1949409cba0c56018455f6_1x1.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/orton-c-of-e/images/imgi_4_aa5f04e83c1949409cba0c56018455f6_1x1.jpg) ### National Crime Agency - Cyber Choices Brochures Brochure for Parents/Guardians/Carers 3.13 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/orton-c-of-e/files/documents/nca-cyber-choices-brochure-for-parents-and-guardians_carers.pdf) Brochure for Under 12's 6.49 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/orton-c-of-e/files/documents/nca-cyber-choices-brochure-for-under-12s.pdf) ### Teenage Cybercrime: Help Your Child Make the Right #CyberChoices Uploaded by National Crime Agency on 2015-12-08.

It is important that we understand enough about the Internet to keep our children safe from harm but it is equally important that we equip our children with the skills they need to keep themselves safe so they can experience the Internet positively and responsibly.
