At school we have special filters that make searching for things safe and you may not have these on your home computers. Here are some ways to keep you safe on the internet. Think SMART and follow these rules when using the internet (Taken from KidsSmart). #### SAFE Keep safe by being careful not to give out personal information when you're chatting or posting online. Personal information includes your email address, phone number and password. #### MEETING Meeting someone you have only been in touch with online can be dangerous. Only do so with your parents or carers permission and even then only when they can be present. Remember online friends are still strangers even if you have been talking to them for a long time. #### ACCEPTING Accepting emails, IM messages, or opening files, pictures or texts from people you don't know or trust can lead to problems - they may contain viruses or nasty messages! #### RELIABLE Someone online might lie about who they are and information on the internet may not be true. Always check information with other websites, books or someone who knows. If you like chatting online it?s best to only chat to your real world friends and family #### TELL Tell your parent, carer or a trusted adult if someone or something makes you feel uncomfortable or worried, or if you or someone you know is being bullied online. #### Child Safety Online: What Parent and Carers need to know guides can be found at - ### Online E-Safety useful links & Information

Parents are being urged to familiarise themselves with the signs of child sexual exploitation (CSE) as part of the **It's not okay** campaign. CSE is a priority for all local safeguarding children boards in the region and the **It's not okay** website and campaign has been put together by Project Phoenix – a unique collaboration of public and third sector partners throughout Greater Manchester including Tameside Council. Useful information on spotting the signs of CSE and getting help can be found here – [**www.itsnotokay.co.uk/parents/**](http://www.itsnotokay.co.uk/parents/) The key message to remember is that child sexual exploitation is NEVER the young person's fault. Abusers are very clever in the way they manipulate their victims. ### Parents - [School Opening Hours](https://www.moorside-primary.net/school-opening-hours) - [Attendance](https://www.moorside-primary.net/parents/attendance) - [School Meals](https://www.moorside-primary.net/parents/school-meals) - [School Uniform Policy](https://www.moorside-primary.net/parents/school-uniform-policy) - [British Values](https://www.moorside-primary.net/parents/british-values) - [Acceptable Behaviour Policy](https://www.moorside-primary.net/parents/acceptable-behaviour-policy) - [Internet Safety](https://www.moorside-primary.net/parents/internet-safety) - [Parents Voice](https://www.moorside-primary.net/parents/parents-voice) - [Parent Links](https://www.moorside-primary.net/parents/parent-links) - [Talking Together](https://www.moorside-primary.net/parents/talking-together) - [Privacy Notice](https://www.moorside-primary.net/parents/privacy-notice) - [Talking to Children about Acts of Terrorism – Advice for Parents](https://www.moorside-primary.net/parents/acts-of-terrorism-advice-for-parents) - [Emotional Wellbeing.](https://www.moorside-primary.net/parents/emotional-wellbeing) - [Early Years](https://www.moorside-primary.net/parents/early-years) ![Moorside Primary Academy](https://files.schudio.com/moorside-primary-academy-2/images/logo/logo-app.png) ### Moorside Primary Academy Market Street Droylsden M43 7DA 0161 370 3614 ### Social Media - [X](https://twitter.com/MoorsidePA) - [Youtube](https://youtu.be/YmDLrnzvoaE) © Copyright 2026 Moorside Primary Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.moorside-primary.net/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
