Internet Safety

Keeping children safe on-line is hugely important to all at Fawbert & Barnard. In the Spring Term of each year we carry out e-safety workshops for children, parents and staff.  Please check our calendar dates to find out when these take place or scroll down this page for further information.   Please take time to look through the website and read the leaflets to help you understand further how to keep your children safe online.

Here are some useful links to websites that will give you information, tips and advice on how to keep your children safe online.

UPDATE JUNE 17 - There are changes to snapchat that you should be aware of. Snapchat has introduced a new tracker update where you can view the exact location of your friends.  It can give you the area, town and street and if you zoom in enough, it shows the house and the street layout.  Once the app is updated, if your children zoom out when the camera is on selfie mode you can view the exact location of any one of their friends but so can everyone else.  If you don't want people to see where your children are, you need to go on ghost mode.

E-Safety presentation for parents 5th February 2019 7-9pm in Reedings Junior School hall.  Please attend this meeting if you can to receive important updates and information on how to keep your children safe online.
