At Redmile CE Primary School, we are committed to helping children stay safe online. Pupils learn how to recognise potential risks, make safe choices and report any concerns or worries they may have when using the internet.

Children are encouraged to speak to a trusted adult if something online makes them feel uncomfortable, worried or unsafe.
