Online Safety Information

At Kirby Hill C of E Primary, we recognise the importance of online safety. To support our families, we have joined Knowsley City Learning Centres' online safety initiative, giving us access to their monthly, up-to-date, and easy-to-understand advice for parents and carers. This guidance helps families keep their children safe online, whether on their phones, gaming, or browsing the internet.

These are emailed monthly to parents and can be accessed via the right hand side of the page.

Free Online Safety E-Books

Storybooks provide amazing opportunities for parents to read together and learn with children. These books can be used to start conversations about online safety early (and often) and enable us to explore children’s knowledge and understanding about online behaviours and risks. Storybooks can enable adults to confidently facilitate age appropriate discussions about online behaviour, as well as considering the wider impact of modern technology on everyday values.
