E-Safety Magazine May Update - #DITTO Issue 1

Added on by Andy Howe.

It has been a little while since the last E-Safety newsletter was sent out but we have just received the latest (re-branded) magazine with the following message:

#DITTO is a free monthly magazine for schools and parents. The magazine is about keeping you up to date with risks, issues, advice and guidance related to keeping children safe online, commonly called e-safety or online safety, but also with a view to enjoying and learning about technology.

In the past I have tried to keep up with creating two separate newsletters; one for schools and one for parents and unfortunately this became too much. In this new magazine I briefly explain why I have now combined those newsletters into one magazine, and hopefully created something which is much more informative and useful to everybody. Please do feel free to send me feedback.

NEW E-Safety Newsletter for Parents (Begins with Issue 11 - Dec 2015)

Added on by Andy Howe.

In an effort to improve the provision of e-safety for our pupils, it is paramount that we improve our understanding as adults and carers. We have signed up to receive these very informative newsletters for both parents and teachers, and they will be posted here in the 'Our News' blog section when they become available. They will also appear on our new e-Safety page where you will find more links to great websites offering helpful advice.

They have been written by Alan Mackenzie, a former e-safety lead on Lincolnshire County Council and current CEOP (Child Exploitation & Online Protection) Ambassador, whose vast experience includes working with a wide range of people including schools, police, companies and charities. His website can be found at www.esafetyadvisor.co.uk

Issue 11 (December 2015) includes the following topics:

  • Content within games
  • Screen time for children
  • What is social networking?
