At OLSK, we aim to keep all of our children safe, whether they are in school or at home. We teach them about online safety and how to use electronic devices sensibly.
However, sometimes when they go home, all of this learning is forgotten and they engage in risky behaviour that does not keep them safe.
We work with our parents to give them advice and guidance to keep their children safe when they are online and this page has direct links to organisations that can help if things do go wrong.
National Online Safety
We are very aware that many children will have had new devices for Christmas, for example phones, Nintendo Switch, Laptops, Xbox PlayStation etc. Please ensure that you are keeping your children safe at home, by using your parental settings to ensure children are not accessing inappropriate games and content. It has come to my attention that many children are using games that are not age appropriate and are therefore able to chat to strangers online. To support you with this, please see posters below. We hope you find the information useful.

I am pleased to share with you the attached informative wall poster that serves as a reminder of the key steps to ensure children's safety in the digital world. This poster not only reinforces online safety practices but also encourages open conversations among parents, caregivers, and colleagues.
