On Line Safety

At St. Vincent's, we work with staff, pupils and parents / carers to create a school community which values the use of new technologies in enhancing learning, encourages responsible use of ICT, and follows agreed policies to minimise the potential for children to use the internet inappropriately.  In an ever-changing technological landscape, it is crucial that schools and parents understand how to deal wth a range of situations when using the internet in order to appropriately educate children to use the internet safely.  Please find a range of links below relating to a range of websites and resources for parents in supporting  the education of online safety at St. Vincent's:
