The digital world is a dominant force in the lives of young people, with undoubtedly numerous positives to be found and pitfalls to overcome.

With issues like online bullying, inappropriate sharing and digital addiction constantly in the spotlight, the school invited leading online safety organisation Digital Awareness UK to deliver online safety talks to parents and our girls.

We understand how difficult it can be to ensure that children are using the internet safely, especially when they are often using the internet outside the home. In light of this, in their talk to parents, Digital Awareness UK addressed three key areas:

1) What the most popular appas and websites are and how they work

2) Critical issues to be aware of

3) What steps parents can take to protect their children from online risk

Both parents and girls came away from the talks with an increased awareness and knowledge about the digital world. Many thanks to Digital Awareness UK for their talk.
