What I wish my parents or carers knew ......
The Children's Commissioner had recently published a new guide, What I wish my parents or carers knew: A guide for parents on managing children's digital lives.
Supporting children’s safety is a shared responsibility between families, schools and wider society. For parents and carers, this responsibility has become increasingly complex as children’s lives are now deeply intertwined with the digital world. Many parents face difficult decisions about how to balance protecting children from online harm with enabling access to spaces that are now central to learning, socialising and play.
As parents, carers, and educators, our job must begin and end with our children’s care and safety. It’s what they expect and what they want from you.
We hope this guide will be a useful resource for our school community.
