Internet Safety Workshops

Every child deserves to be, and feel, safe online.

The online world creates many opportunities for children and young people, providing a place where they can communicate, learn and play. But there are also risks.

Online safety is a fundamental part of Caythorpe Primary School's safeguarding and child protection measures.

To support our work on E-Safety within the school we invited Beth from the Lincolnshire Staysafe Partnership to run focus workshops with the children.

 

In Neverland, Beth spoke to the children about internet safety. She reviewed many examples where the children had to think about how they would stay safe online. Finally, the children made a hand of safety, where they drew around their hands and wrote the names of 5 adults who could help them keep safe online.

 

In Narnia the children had the opportunity of being wizards and witches of Harry Potter and worked together as teams to complete some wizarding tasks. The children were given different scenarios linked to online bullying and they had to work together to identify what would be the best solution. We learnt about strategies that the children could use if they were not happy online. For example: block, report, ignore and tell an adult.
