As a school, we want to support you in helping your child use technology safely and appropriately at home. The NSPCC link below provides age‑specific guidance to help you understand what kind of device use is suitable and how to keep them safe online.
Children and technology: Age-appropriate usage advice | NSPCC
The link explains:
- What types of technology and online activities are appropriate for under‑5s, under‑10s, pre‑teens and teens.
- How to use tools like parental controls, supervised access, and child‑friendly apps to keep young children safe.
- How to decide whether a child is ready for their own device, such as a first mobile phone.
- How to continue ongoing conversations about online safety as children become more independent.
Should you need any further support or advice with this, please speak with your child’s class teacher.
