Online Safety is of crucial importance for all those responsible for protecting and maintaining the safety of children.
Today our children grow up exposed to a vast amount of online content via You Tube viewing, advertising, gaming and social media. Without security and vigilance, there are many potentially negative and harmful influences and experiences accessible within a click.
With more school work being done online, there is a very real need to manage all elements of Online Safety as diligently as possible.
