It's #SaferInternetDay today. As you're getting ready for school this morning why not start up a quick chat on the way to school? Talking about life online doesn't have to be scary... https://t.co/AcxxIAi7mu

Looking for games that actually ARE age appropriate? This is a great place to start! Exciting worlds and great fun without all the other stuff. https://t.co/CwiwxF1Bn5

Your child's unmonitored screen time could quite easily negativity impact their future relationships. Are you sure you know the apps and settings your child is exposed to? https://t.co/4mMb7lhlWu

[Westfield Junior E-safety @WJSesafety]

Is your child left alone on their device? Do you know what apps or sites they have access to? Lockdown normalised young children on their own with devices. Without the right safeguards it can be disastrous. #esafety #digitalcitizenship https://t.co/VspaRT8bf8

Our pupils are being exposed to problematic gambling behaviours in online gaming. A good summary...

We round up our key takeaways from the session: https://t.co/HDDk55T9tn

[Westfield Junior E-safety @WJSesafety]

A superb resource for some short 1:1 parent and child conversation starters, sit down together for an easy 10 minute watch each night and hopefully they can demonstrate the #esafety we've taught in school.
