Online Safety at Home

       SWGfL Report Harmful Content 

 

Online safety is becoming increasingly important as children grow up in a more and more digital world.

At Grove, we are committed to ensuring that children have the necessary knowledge, skills and understanding to navigate the online world with confidence and discernment.  We celebrate the benefits of working online.  However, we also work with our pupils to make them aware of the dangers of working online and support them so they know how to keep themselves safe and what to do if they feel uneasy or threatened.

On this page, you can find links, advice and resources to help you in keeping your children safe online at home. 

 

Parent Workshops

We hold regular parent workshops about online safety. These will cover different aspects of online safety. If you missed the first one in October, you can see the presentation below and access some of the resources shared in the session by clicking the links below. 

We hope to see you at our next workshop on Tuesday 5th December 2023. The workshop will focus on online gaming.
