What is a Rights Respecting School?
UNICEF works with schools in the UK to create safe and inspiring places to learn, where children are respected, their talents are nurtured and they are able to thrive. The Rights Respecting Schools Award embeds these values in daily school life and gives children the best chance to lead happy, healthy lives and to be responsible, active citizens.
Safer Internet Day 2019 was celebrated globally on Tuesday 5th February 2019 with the slogan “Together for a better internet”, the day provided a fantastic opportunity to engage with children about their digital lives.
Our day started with an assembly - thinking about what we love about the internet, how we can be kind and respectful to others online, and what we can do to keep ourselves safe when using it.
The rest of the day was spent on activities which will enabled the children to recognise how to make good choices online and exploring 'permission' - asking for and giving.
To help you talk to your children about having a positive and safe time online, there is a great pack that has been created for parents and carers, including conversation starters, a factsheet, family pledge card and more!
