Why is e-safety important to teach in schools?
Children today are firmly part of the digital age and as such, they often use a wide range of devices, both inside and outside, of school. When used correctly, technology can be a fantastic learning and social tool, but children need to have a clear understanding of the e-safety rules and expectations. This will help them to stay safe online and not fall foul of the myriad of risks and threats which can occur to the unsuspecting individual.
So, what do children need to know and what do schools need to tell them?
Some of the most positive stats from the Ofcom research are:
96% of children who go online recall being told guidance around how to use the Internet safely
84% say that this guidance came from either their parents or their teachers
2/3 of children have said that they have used social media to offer personal, positive support to their friends who are having a hard time
61% do not trust news posted on social media
