Computing and E-Safety
The majority of the work we will set over this shutdown will be internet based so there is an increasing need to be safe online 

Screen time

There is no official guidance to actually say how long young people should spend online. However a time limit to screen time is very important. Try to remember the 4Ds:

  • Digital free zones – keep technology downstairs
  • Digital role models – parents lead by example online and with digital usage
  • Digital sunset – young people need to come away from technology 1 hour before they go to sleep
  • Digital detox – As a family try a gadget free day or hour
