Internet Safety Talks for Parents (Wednesday 13th November 2pm)
Mon 30 Sep 2019Internet Safety
Information Session for Parents and Carers on: Wednesday 13th November 2pm.
There have been incidents recently highlighted by the media that have raised enquiries from parents and carers, as to HOW they can protect their children whilst on the Internet. In response to this, the Safe Schools & Communities Team have put together information sessions for parents and carers.
These sessions are being offered to all schools across the County to give parents a reference for sources of useful advice and support. Our children have access to the Internet via school, friends, and libraries and even via mobile phones and games stations, so this information is important even if you may not have Internet access in the home.
Whilst we seek to protect our children it is important to keep the risk in perspective, as there are great benefits to the use of the Internet. It is really a case of taking simple, sensible steps along with parental/carer vigilance, to minimise the risk, and equip our children with the knowledge and skills to keep them safe from harm.
The Internet is a great tool …but it does have a ‘Dark Side’ and the whole concept of this session is to raise your awareness so you can identify where threats and potential dangers may lie.

Wessex Lifebus Visit - Parents Workshop Thursday 3 October 2.50pm
Mon 16 Sep 2019Life Education Wessex & Thames Valley is an independent and self-supporting branch of a national charity which provides health, well-being and drug education to children aged 3 – 13 years.
Our aim is to help equip young people with the knowledge, skills and self-confidence to form positive healthy attitudes and make healthy choices. We support schools, parents and community groups and our programmes help to meet National Curriculum and government guidelines for health and drug education.
Young people are facing ever-increasing risks to their health through poor diet, drinking alcohol, smoking and misusing drugs. Our fun and interactive series of age appropriate programmes help children to understand the wonders of the human body and how to look after it.
Our experienced and specially trained Educators help Key Stage 2 children (Years 3 to 6) to consider the effects and risks associated with the use of drugs, including medicines, alcohol and tobacco. In addition, children learn about choices that can affect health and well-being, skills of friendship and how to cope with bullying and peer pressure.
Through the use of group work, puppets, circle time discussion, drama techniques such as role play and hot-seating, music, exercise, electronic models and a variety of audio/visual materials, all children are encouraged to participate.
Parents’ sessions and workshops are often organised so that you can find out what happens inside the Mobile Classroom.
