Online Safety
At Lambs Lane, we know that going on-line can be really exciting. It can let us do lots of fun, interesting and useful things, but it's important to know how to use it safely. As part of the curriculum, your child will have supervised access to the internet. We believe that the effective use of the internet is a worthwhile and essential skill for our pupils.
The UK Safer Internet Centre have produced some fantastic How-To guides for parents which show you how to change the safety/child lock settings on smartphones, gaming devices, ipads etc. They are very useful and you can find them by clicking here:
