The use of technology continues to be an important component of safeguarding young people. Technology, whilst providing many opportunities for learning also provides a platform that can facilitate harm. Keeping Children Safe in Education categorises online safety into three broad areas:
- Content: being exposed to illegal, inappropriate or harmful material; for example pornography, fake news, racist or radical and extremist views
- Contact: being subjected to harmful online interaction with other users; for example commercial advertising as well as adults posing as children or young adults
- Conduct: personal online behaviour that increases the likelihood of, or causes, harm; for example making, sending and receiving explicit images, or online bullying

As parents, we want technology to enrich our children’s lives, not consume them. We have partnered with Qustodio to provide our families with the necessary tools and support they need to ensure their children’s safety and well-being online
