e-Safety
| Children should always be supervised by a responsible adult when using the Internet. Teachers should evaluate any websites fully before they use them with their students. Often this means checking the websites, search results etc just before the lesson. What may be considered a safe site today might not be tomorrow. Pay particular attention to image advertisements as they can change each time the web page is accessed. |

The Internet has become an integral part of children’s lives, enabling them to undertake research for school projects, talk to their friends and access information from around the world. Increasing provision of the Internet in and out of schools brings with it the need to ensure that learners are safe.
Internet development is constantly evolving into ever more innovative areas with many websites enabling amazing creativity and interaction between peers.
Unfortunately though, there are times when Internet use can have a negative effect on children. Schools should be aware of the potential dangers taking measures to ensure safe usage by all.
This area of the Kented website is dedicated to helping users better understand the issues around e-safety and manage the risks more effectively.
