Welcome to our school page for Online Safety at St Joseph’s.<\/p>\n

The safety of our children is paramount in all we do. We will post, news and tips to support you, ensuring your children are safe when using the internet at home. For some of us it seems overwhelming to try and navigate through all the websites and social media platforms our children are exposed to. We hope this page will provide you with the support to make that possible!<\/p>\n

If there are specific online areas you are struggling with please email your class email with suggestions and we will try and post some relevant information here for you.<\/p>\n

Parental controls: <\/b>Parental controls have been designed to help you manage your child’s online activities. There are various types, some of which are free but others which can be bought. However, nothing is totally fool proof so they shouldn’t replace the need for you to support and advise your child using the internet. For more information and step by step instructions on setting up parental controls, visit Parental Controls & Privacy Settings Guides – Internet Matters<\/a><\/u>.<\/u><\/p>\n

Help <\/b>your child identify trusted adults who can help them if they are worried: <\/b>This includes you and other adults at home, as well as adults from wider family, school or other support services who they are able to contact at this time. Encourage them to draw a picture or write a list of their trusted adults.<\/p>\n

Make sure <\/b>they know where <\/b>to go for support: <\/b>Remind your child they can always speak to you or an adult they trust if anything happens online that makes them feel worried or upset.

Supervise their online activity: <\/b>Keep the devices your child uses in communal areas of the house such as the living room or kitchen, where an adult is able to supervise. Primary-age children should not access the internet in private spaces alone, such as in a bedroom or bathroom.<\/p>\n

At St Joseph's, we are always looking at ways to improve parental engagement.<\/p>\r\nAfter much testing and preparation, working with Weduc<\/a>, we launched our very own school \u2018app\u2019, in January 2022.\u00a0 We compared various options and got feedback from several 'focus groups' of Governors, parents and staff before choosing to build our own app with Weduc's support.\r\n\r\nIt is available to download on the apple app store or android google play store (search for \u201cSt Joseph\u2019s Federation\u201d) or if you do not have a smartphone, it is accessible on any computer or tablet, as a normal web page\r\n\r\nClick here for the app via your web browser<\/a>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nOur school app is a \u2018one-stop shop\u2019 where you can access all relevant information for your child and where we can share information with parents in a timely and cost-efficient way. It translates across 12 languages and works on any device.\r\n

\"As a busy parent, St Joseph's App is a life-support system for me. With one login, I have access to all my children's calendars, news, clubs, trips, school letters and attendance data. No more searching through emails, text messages or looking for passwords for google classroom - and no more excuses for missing mufti-day! \"\r\n
