Online Safety For Children

The internet is a fun place to learn, play games and talk to friends. But it’s important to stay safe when you’re online.

At St Anne Stanley, we learn how to be kind, smart and responsible when using the internet. We talk about keeping personal information private, spotting things that aren’t right, and what to do if something online worries us.

We use fun stories and games like Smartie the Penguin and Digiduck to help us learn. And remember — if anything online makes you feel upset or worried, always tell a trusted adult!
