This means exciting opportunities for children's learning. It also means a new range of dangers from peers and adults. Therefore, E-safety is now an important part of children's well being. E-safety is something every parent/carer must be aware of - even those of young children.  Children should not be using technology without parents/carers knowing what is going on.
