E-SAFETY

The Internet has become an integral part of children's lives, enabling them to undertake research for school projects, talk to their friends and access information from around the world.  Increasing provision of the Internet in and out of schools brings with it the need to ensure that the learners are safe.

Internet development is constantly evolving into evermore innovative areas with many websites enabling amazing creativity and interaction between peers.

Unfortunately though, there are times when the Internet use can have a negative effect on children. At Hartford Manor we have measures in place to ensure that using the Internet is a positive and safe experience.
