What is E-safety?
E-safety is about safety with mobile and computer devices. It stands for electronic safety. Oxhey First School takes an active role in E-safety, making it one of our priorities to ensure children stay safe when using new technologies.
The National Curriculum 2014 states that children should: use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly; recognise acceptable/unacceptable behaviour; identify a range of ways to report concerns about content and contact. This is throughout the whole of the primary years emphasising the importance further.
Below there are many links to resources which support children and parents in adopting safe approaches to new technologies.
