For any of our school family members looking for resources on Online Safety.

We suggest you review the two guides below first and foremost, under which you will find a large number of links offering support, guidance and advice.

Primary Online Safety Guide

See below a presentation created by Knowsley Council in 2025, designed to provide an in depth guide to Online Safety, targeted primarily to parents and carers of Key Stage 2 children.

A guide to Parental Controls:

This guide will help you set up parental controls and adjust privacy settings to provide your child with a safer online environment. Parental controls can help to protect your child from seeing something that they shouldn’t — although it is important to emphasise that no system is effective all of the time, so it is important to engage with your child and talk to them about their online life regularly.
