Final Message for Parents & Carers
Children and young people often explore the online world confidently, but they may not always understand the risks involved. Open conversations, clear boundaries, and staying informed are the most effective ways to support their safety.
If you are ever unsure or concerned, it is always better to seek advice early from the services above or contact the school safeguarding team.
