e-Safety @ BDPS

E-safety is an important area of your child's education in today’s digital world and is embedded in their learning at school. We have security measures in place in school to help safeguard pupils from potential dangers or unsuitable material.  E-safety is discussed regularly and pupils agree to abide by the photographic permissions and acceptable use policy. 

In this ever changing world of online apps and games, do you know what to look out for to keep your children safe?  We have included some fact sheets and information guides below and will be regularly adding to them. Click on the pictures for more information.
