Safer Internet Day (SID) is an annual event to promote the safe and responsible use of technology among children and young people. The focus of SID 2012 is ‘connecting generations’. It aims to encourage families to explore online technologies together. SID 2012 will be taking place on Tuesday 7th February with activities across the UK and beyond which we would like you to be a part of.

To celebrate SID 2012, St Mary’s Deane wants to work with you on keeping your children safe online. We would like to invite you and anyone responsible for your children’s online activity (grandparents, child minders, close family friends) to join us at 3:00pm on Tuesday 7th February in the ICT Suite for this unique and exciting 30 minute event.

Together we will:

• watch CEOP’s ‘Social Media’ video and view their ‘Awareness raising session for Parents and Carers’ powerpoint presentation created by CEOP to show what it’s like to bring up children in the online world.
• discuss practical steps that you can put in place to protect your children online.

Can’t make it? Don’t worry, you can still get involved! Visit www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents on Tuesday 7th February. From this day, you will be able to view the ‘Parents’ and Carers’ Guide to the Internet’ and have access to information and guidance on how to keep your family safe online.
