At Fulwood & Cadley Primary School, we are committed to ensuring our children stay safe both in school and online. As digital technology becomes a greater part of our children's daily lives, it's essential that parents and carers are informed, confident, and proactive in helping children navigate the online world safely.

Why Online Safety Matters:

• Children are using the internet at younger ages and for longer periods.

• Online platforms can present risks such as cyberbullying, inappropriate content, and online predators.

• Developing digital resilience is just as important as academic learning.

Supporting Our Families:
To help parents stay up to date with the latest guidance, trends, and tools for keeping children safe online, we have partnered with Knowsley City Learning Centre (CLC). As part of this collaboration, we will be sharing monthly online safety newsletters, full of practical advice, updates on popular apps and games, and tips for managing screen time and privacy settings at home.

We encourage all parents to take a few minutes each month to read these updates—they’re a valuable tool to help keep your child safe, confident, and responsible in their digital life.

Government Online Safety Website 

We are pleased to share that a brand‑new Online Safety website will launch on 16 February 2026, designed to support families in having regular, confident conversations with their children about what they see and do online.

The site encourages simple, everyday discussions — such as asking “Who shared this?” and “Why?” — to help children think critically about their online world.

Based on parents’ key concerns and needs, the website includes:

• Helpful tips for starting conversations with your child about online content
• Practical actions you can take at each stage of your child’s development
• Guidance on parental controls to help keep children safe
• Links to trusted charities and expert organisations for further support, including access to professional advice

This new resource will continue to grow throughout the year, supporting the Online Safety Act and wider government aims to help keep children safe online.

We encourage all families to explore the site: Kids Online Safety website
