Last week we held our Online Safety Chill & Chat session. It was wonderful to have a chat with parents and discuss different issues that have occurred at home linked to online safety. Mrs Hodgeon directed parents to many of the useful guides on our school website which can be found under our Online Safety tab, https://www.astleypark.lancs.sch.uk/parents-carers/online-safety. Parents were particularly impressed with the website https://www.internetmatters.org/ which supports parents and carers to ensure that their children are as safe as possible when online at home. We have had some wonderful feedback from the session, including;

"This was an incredibly helpful session greatly improving my ability to support my child's use of the internet. It also really helped reduce my worries"

 

"I think the session that I attended went along way to address this area and now I need to put it into practice."

 

Thank you so much to those who were able to attend, it was lovely to have an informal chat and I think we all learnt something new in the session. We can’t wait to hold further Chill & Chat sessions next year!
