As part of Safer Internet Day at Swavesey Primary School, we hosted a parent workshop focused on helping families understand some of the risks and realities children may face online. The session explored key areas such as social media, online gaming, and the importance of setting up parental controls on devices at home. Our aim was to support parents in creating safe online environments and in recognising what to do if their child encounters something worrying, upsetting, or inappropriate.
If you were unable to attend the workshop but would like to find out more, you can look through the slides from the session. Please feel free to speak to any member of the teaching staff if you have further questions or would like additional support.
