--- title: "Internet safety" url: "https://st-marys-catholic-primary-school.schudio.com/our-school/safeguarding/internet-safety" school: "St Mary's Catholic Primary School" --- # Internet safety ## eSafety The internet can be a risky place, but, if accessed with care, it can produce boundless fun and enhance knowledge. At St Mary's we employ a high level filtering system to try to keep at bay unsuitable websites and inappropriate content. All members of staff are required to sign an acceptable use policy which explains exactly what is tolerated and what is not. **As a parent, what can you do?** There are several websites offering support to parents and carers. There are links to two below. **Child Exploitation and Online Protection agency - CEOP** The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) is a part of the National Crime Agency and it works across the UK and overseas with child protection partners to identify the main threats to children and coordinates activity against these threats to bring offenders to account. CEOP aims to protect children from harm online and offline, directly through NCA led operations and in partnership with local and international agencies. There is plenty of information from CEOP about the safe use of the internet. We can never be too sure about what our children can be exposed to, at times, quite inadvertently. This site has good advice on safe use of the internet.

Childnet works directly with children and young people from the ages of 3 to 18 on a weekly basis, as well as with parents, carers, teachers and professionals, finding out about their real experiences online, and the positive things they are doing as well as sharing safety advice. The link below takes you to the section on advice for parents and carers. **[![](https://st-marys-catholic-primary-school.schudio.com/images/Safeguarding/ChildNet_logo.png)](http://www.childnet.com/parents-and-carers)** ### ChildNet publication Family Agreement 313 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-marys-catholic-primary-school/files/Safeguarding/eSafety/Family-agreement-advice.pdf) a simple sets of guidelines for managing internet access Supporting Young People on line 660 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-marys-catholic-primary-school/files/Safeguarding/eSafety/Supporting-young-people-online.pdf) for parents and carers, in English Pomoc dla dzieci i młodzieży w zakresie korzystania z internetu 649 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-marys-catholic-primary-school/files/Safeguarding/eSafety/Polish_Supporting-young-people-online_V3.pdf) for parents and carers, in Polish Guia del buen uso de Internet para niños y adolescentes 538 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-marys-catholic-primary-school/files/Safeguarding/eSafety/Spanish_Supporting-young-people-online.pdf) for parents and carers, in Spanish Aider les jeunes en ligne 649 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-marys-catholic-primary-school/files/Safeguarding/eSafety/French_Supporting-young-people-online.pdf) for parents and carers, in French Cefnogi pobl ifanc ar-lein 75 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-marys-catholic-primary-school/files/Safeguarding/eSafety/Welsh_Supporting-young-people-online.pdf) for parents and carers, in Welsh. ##### Location Westgate Road Beckenham Kent BR3 5DE ##### Contact Us 020 8650 2355 - Useful Links - [A paper copy of the information on this website is available on request to the school office](https://st-marys-catholic-primary-school.schudio.com/) © Copyright 2015–2026 St Mary's Catholic Primary School – [View Privacy Notice](https://st-marys-catholic-primary-school.schudio.com/our-school/general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr) School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://st-marys-catholic-primary-school.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
