Dear Parents and Guardians,

Keeping our children safe online is a safeguarding priority for all of us.  Although ipads and laptops offer an enriched learning experience and allow our young people to form wider friendship groups, it is important to educate them in relation to staying safe when using online platforms.  St Malachy's pupils take part in workshops each year, led by experts in online safety to create awareness about some of the online dangers which they may encounter.

Please refer to the links below for further advice about keeping your child safe online.
