CHILDREN at a Bradford primary school have learnt how to keep safe online will help from police.

As part of Safer Internet Day, pupils at High Crags Primary Leadership Academy took part in workshops which helped show how to stay safe on the web.

PCSO Joanne Cato visited to pass on tips to pupils on how to safeguard themselves, and also ran a workshop for parents on how that can protect their children online.

Pupils in Years 5 and 6 also attended an extra workshop on cyber-bullying.

Teachers Ben Taylor and Jonathan Harris also organised an assembly, led by the Shipley school’s digital leaders, to give children tips on how to stay safe online.

Safer Internet Day, on Tuesday, February 5, promotes safe, responsible and positive use of digital technology.

Helen Ray, principal of High Crags Primary Leadership Academy, said: “As a school we support Safer Internet Day.

“We use it as an opportunity to assist our pupils and their parents and carers to understand and minimise any risks in order to safeguard the children.

“I cannot stress enough how important it is to talk to your children about what they are up to online.

“Parents need to be fully aware of what their child and friends are doing on social media, video streaming or online gaming.

“Check regularly what they are doing, who they are speaking to and speak to them regularly about the dangers of the internet.”
