Online Safety @ Oxford Grove

You might be struggling to keep up with the things your child is doing online, you might wonder whether what they are doing is safe. (www.thinkuknow.co.uk ) The internet can be a fantastic place for children and young people where they can talk to friends, be creative and have fun. However, just like in the real world sometimes things can go wrong. If you or your child are worried or upset about something which has happened on the internet there is help out there.

In this area you will find links to websites and resources we use in school, to teach the message of how to stay safe online and how to cope when things do not quiet feel right.
