• Keeping Children Safe Online

  Mon 13 Jun 2022

  What's new? Website for 4 to 7 Year Olds The website is based on the three-episode Jessie & Friends animated series, which aims to equip 4-7 year olds with the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to stay safer online. It is intended to be used by 4-7 year olds alongside their parents and carers, or within education settings as a learning tool.

  The new interactive website encourages 4-7s to engage safely online by helping them to recognise worrying, upsetting or scary situations and reinforcing the key message that they should ‘Tell A Grown Up’ in these instances.   The website is divided into sections for 4-5 and 6-7 year olds and features relevant and age-appropriate games for the chosen age bracket. Each game focuses on one of four topics: watching videos chatting online sharing pictures gaming online The Jessie & Friends episodes are also available to watch on the new website to enhance understanding.
