It’s vitally important to teach Internet safety at KS2 to keep children safe. Whenever children are online, they’re at risk from unsuitable content, accidentally disclosing their personal data, illegal downloads, file sharing, spyware, viruses, inappropriate advances and cyberbullying. Here are some useful websites for parents to support their children online.

Parent Zone sits at the heart of modern family life, providing advice knowledge and support, to shape the best possible future for children, as they embrace the online world.  Google and Parent Zone are running a series of live drop-ins about the digital world. These Youtube sessions provide valuable guidance to support parents. Click here to access them.

Be Internet Legends is an educational programme that empowers young people to be safer and more confident explorers of the online world.
