Online Safety
At St Patrick’s, we use ICT throughout all our subjects and encourage children to do the same at home. It is of paramount importance that parents and children are aware of how to safely use the Internet. Online safety forms part of our safeguarding curriculum and children will work through the following strands:
Self- Image and Identity, Online Relationships, Online Reputation, Online Bullying, Managing online information, Health, well-being and lifestyle, Privacy and security and Copywrite and Ownership
