E-Safety

Here at Kensington Primary School, we want to support families to stay safe online. An online safety agreement can be a great way to set boundaries and make sure everyone knows what is expected of them (see parent and child pledges below).

Pledge for children and teens

I will not touch or look at my phone when it’s dangerous to do so, such as riding a bike, crossing a road or walking.

I will be considerate of others and not use my phone to text or talk when it may disturb others or at inappropriate times or places.

I will take care not to damage or lose my phone and will let my parents know right away if it is damaged, lost or stolen.

I will only use apps from legitimate app stores (like the Apple App Store or Google Play) and do a little research to make sure they’re appropriate and safe to use.

I will carefully review the privacy policies of any apps I use including what information the app collects or shares.

I will only use apps that share my location with family or personal friends I know from the real world.

I will not let my phone interfere with sleep, schoolwork or other important activities.

I will respect my own and other people’s privacy in pictures and posts that I share.

I will only share pictures and videos where everyone is appropriately dressed and will avoid sharing any images that could embarrass me or others or get anyone in trouble.

I will treat others respectfully and kindly in what I post, what I text and how I interact socially.

Parents’ Pledge

I will be a good role model and never text or use apps while driving or during other activities where phone use might be dangerous.

I will be considerate of others, including my family members, by refraining from using the phone when it might disturb people around me.

I will talk with my children and set reasonable expectations about their smartphone use.

I will be considerate of my child and not text him or her while in class or at other inappropriate times.

I will take whatever action is appropriate if I feel my child has misused his or her phone or broken a family rule, but I will be thoughtful about such actions and not overreact.
