Keeping Safe Online

At Yapton C. of E. Primary School we have been working with your children to help them learn how to be safe online.

Below, are some Apps that you should be familiar with in order to support your children when they are online at home. 

You can support your child to make sensible choices when messaging on social media by installing the BBC ‘Own it App’. This smartphone app is aimed to support your child’s wellbeing. It monitors how young people interact with friends and family online and through messaging apps. It uses Artifical Intelligence to evaluate a child’s mood so it can offer advice or encourage them to talk to trusted adults.  Guidance about how to install this app on your child’s phone can be found at
