Online Safety for Clermiston Parents/Carers
Stay Happy and Healthy Online!
Advice on how to help your child to stay happy and healthy online
We have created this page as a support for grown ups, as online life can sometimes feel like a bit of a worry. There are so many ways our young ones (and old ones!) use the internet in a positive way, such as finding information, gaming, shopping and socialising!
The internet is not unlike the play park - it's a space where we know our children have fun...but we wouldn't let them play there without having checked it out for ourselves!
Below you will find links to up-to-date app info, where to go if you are concerned about something you've seen online, and how to keep on top of the ever-changing world of the internet.
It needn't be a scary place... arm yourself with know-how and keep the conversation open!

Top Tips!
Our 2018-19 Digital Leaders worked together to come up with a set of tips for grown-ups. Our 2022-23 pupils have updated it with a few tweaks.
Developing these with the pupils was quite eye-opening, with the biggest takeaway being that they want more guidance from all of us and although they may not always make it easy, they know that ultimately, you are in charge!
