Online Safety
Advice from our Digital Leaders
Advice for Parents
Parenting children in the digital age can seem daunting.
On 18th April 2023, Perryn Jasper from Barnet's Safer Community team visited and spoke to Y5 and Y6 about online safety with a particular focus on processing information, critical thinking, manipulation, technology, fake news, propaganda and conspiracy theories.
Perryn delivered a virtual parents' session in the evening to parents. He spoke about gaming, social media platforms, exploitation and grooming, including discussing how to have an open dialogue with your children about their experiences, appropriate sleep patterns, how to identify threats and safer use of apps.
