Parents from St Joseph’s PS and St Mary’s PS came together for an extremely useful and informative workshop on how to keep our children safe online. The workshop, facilitated by REIM Training Solutions provided a very clear context for the current concerns and dangers faced by children using the internet. While the statistics are worrying, Maureen and Emer from REIM Training Solutions, offered us practical and reassuring advice on how to manage the time we allow our children access to the internet and how to create passwords and security settings to keep young children safe. They also alerted us to inappropriate apps and pointed us in the direction of safe and child friendly apps, appropriate for primary school children. As one dad commented: ‘ all parents need to hear and see this.’ If anyone was not able to attend the session, please call in to the school for a handout.
