Online Safety

Here at Brompton Hall, we take safety on the internet very seriously. Our school network is managed by the Trust, which helps to protect our children from seeing inappropriate material. We urge you as parents to make every effort to try and also keep the children safe at home when using the internet and mobile phones.

You can make sure your child is safe online by using technical parental controls and creating your own rules. Rules should cover things like which websites they can visit and how long they can spend online. You should also stress the importance of keeping personal information safe.

We hope you find the resources and links useful.

Advice for staying safe online:

Parental Controls

Smartphones and other devices

Children are using devices at a younger age so it’s important to consider setting controls on their tech, or on any devices that you are letting them borrow from you. We’ve pulled together a number of guides to give you simple steps to set controls on a range of devices.
