Doncaster School for the Deaf E-Safety Policy 

 

The internet is a fantastic way for children to keep in touch with friends, play games, learn new things and have fun.

However when children use the internet, they need to be safe. Sometimes the internet can put them in danger.

There are no expectations on adults to know the ins and outs of every game, app or website. 

But by learning the basics about an app, you at least give yourself a better understanding of the potential risks. There are 10 apps that teenagers are using and parents need to know about them.

There is also information about enabling Parental Resrictions fo iOS; turning off Location Services and how to check for multiple User (Fake) Accounts on your child's phone in this online article.
