Online Safety
At St Georges, we know that supporting children to safely and appropriately access online material is crucial to supporting them to be the very best version of themselves. If you are concerned about your child's online presence or materials they have accessed at home or at school, the first port of call would usually involve speaking with your child's class teacher. Additionally, Jo Thorn is our Designated Safeguarding Lead - please phone the office if you require a phone call with them or another member of the safeguarding team.
If you feel that you require additional help with supporting your child's online safety usage, please consider the links below...
