Guide for Parents/Carers on managing children’s digital lives

Supporting children’s safety is a shared responsibility between families, schools and wider society. For parents and carers, this responsibility has become increasingly complex as children’s lives are now deeply intertwined with the digital world. Many parents face difficult decisions about how to balance protecting children from online harm with enabling access to spaces that are now central to learning, socialising and play. In order to support you with educating your child about online safety, the Children’s Commissioner has published a guide:  What I wish my parents or carers knew: A guide for parents on managing children’s digital lives. It is an incredibly valuable resource

Blackheath Library

A significant number of our students make use of Blackheath Library after school, and we are grateful to have this valuable resource in our community so close to our school. Please remind your children that if they use the facilities in Blackheath Library, it is important that they are respectful and abide by the expectations of the library staff, including those around the use of the toilets in the library.
