Technology and the Internet can be fantastic โ they can help our children to learn, to create amazing things, to communicate and to entertain themselves and each other. Our children are surrounded by this technology โ it is part and parcel of their daily lives.ย
Using technology and the Internet well is about using it safely and responsibly. Things can go wrong by accident or if behaviour isnโt sensible or respectful. Our job is not to stop our young people from using technology but to ensure that they have the necessary knowledge, skills and understanding to successfully navigate themselves through the online world, so they become good digital citizens.
