Dear Parents/Carers
As you will all be aware, St Mildred’s will be closed and open only for children of Key Workers in response to the current situation with coronavirus (COVID-19).
We are aware that this is likely to mean that many children will be spending an increased amount of time online over the coming weeks. Online safety is an important part of keeping children safe at St Mildred’s and as such we would like to share some helpful advice to help you consider how you can keep your family safer online at home.

If you are worried
Be alert to any changes in behaviour, language and attitude in your child that may indicate that something is upsetting them online, for example, if your child starts to withdraw from family and friends or becomes secretive about their online behaviour.
If your child discloses an online issue or concern to you, ensure you listen to them.
Please also see our school website for lots of useful information and resources.
