E-Safety Magazine May Update - #DITTO Issue 1

Added on May 3, 2016 by Andy Howe.

It has been a little while since the last E-Safety newsletter was sent out but we have just received the latest (re-branded) magazine with the following message:

In the past I have tried to keep up with creating two separate newsletters; one for schools and one for parents and unfortunately this became too much. In this new magazine I briefly explain why I have now combined those newsletters into one magazine, and hopefully created something which is much more informative and useful to everybody. Please do feel free to send me feedback.

NEW E-Safety Newsletter for Parents (Begins with Issue 11 - Dec 2015)

Added on January 6, 2016 by Andy Howe.

In an effort to improve the provision of e-safety for our pupils, it is paramount that we improve our understanding as adults and carers. We have signed up to receive these very informative newsletters for both parents and teachers, and they will be posted here in the 'Our News' blog section when they become available. They will also appear on our new e-Safety page where you will find more links to great websites offering helpful advice.

They have been written by Alan Mackenzie, a former e-safety lead on Lincolnshire County Council and current CEOP (Child Exploitation & Online Protection) Ambassador, whose vast experience includes working with a wide range of people including schools, police, companies and charities. His website can be found at www.esafetyadvisor.co.uk

Issue 11 (December 2015) includes the following topics:

Content within games
Screen time for children
What is social networking?
