Parents

At Garstang Community Primary School we take our children’s online safety very seriously, especially as more and more children are using and accessing a whole range of technology at home and in school. Here you can find out more about keeping them safe in this online environment.

We believe the key to keeping children safe online is to maintain an open and free dialogue with them about their time online.  Regular family discussions about the dangers and risks, but also the positive benefits of technology will mean that children feel comfortable and safe taking to you about any issues they may have.  In school we maintain this dialogue through regular online safety discussions and lessons, by celebrating Internet Safety Day each year, and through the use of our Online-Safety Committee made up of children, parents, staff and governors.  Click here for more information and to find your representatives.
