Online Safety

Modern technology and the internet are wonderful tools if utilised correctly. However, they have an element of danger when using them and it is extremely important to remain pro-active to ensure that children know what to do to remain safe. The term online safety is used to cover this area.

 

At St Joseph’s we are committed to educating our children, of all ages, as to how to conduct themselves safely and appropriately when using online and electronic platforms including websites, search engines, mobile phones and social media.
