Today, children across the world are able to play, share ideas, gather information and contribute to communities through on-line spaces. There are many ways in which advancing technology can enhance our students’ lives and allow them to grow and develop skills which will allow them to access employment opportunities, social connections, lifelong learning and independence.

As with any environment where children learn and play, there are hazards which present risks to their safety and well-being. As adults who support children, whether that be in a parenting, teaching or another capacity, it is important that we equip ourselves with the knowledge and skills to be able to support our children’s exploration of the world in a way that allows them to grow towards independence.

This page will introduce you to some of the knowledge and skills that help us to do that.

If you require further help and information that cannot be found on these pages, please contact your child’s Tutor in the first instance.
