2026-2027

Facilitator: Alan Mackenzie

Location: Please see the video links below

Alan Mackenzie is an online safety specialist who wishes to educate all parents on how they can support their children to make the correct choices online. Online safety is a huge and important area. Whilst many of us did not grow up with technology, it is integral to the lives of our children. In school we have lots of lessons throughout the school year to teach the children about keeping safe online and it is important that you are aware of the risks and issues too. Below, you will find links to a series of short videos. These are free to you as a parent/carer of a child in our school and are brought to you by a nationally renowned specialist. The videos will take you through a series of issues, they are non-technical and provide you with support and guidance, and can be watched as and when suits you. Please copy and paste the links into your web browser.
