The online world is now part of everyday life for both adults and young people. While technology brings many benefits, it also comes with risks. Online safety is everyone’s responsibility, and it is vital that we all work together to help young people use the internet safely, confidently and responsibly.

At UBHS, online safety is a key priority. We support learners through assemblies, lessons and clear rules, including not bringing mobile phones onto the school site. However, keeping children safe online works best when schools and families work in partnership.

To support parents and carers, we are offering FREE digital parenting sessions focused on online safety. The session will cover topics such as.

- Understanding gaming, online communication, and hidden risks
- Social media dangers, trends, emojis
- Issues around mental health, cyberbullying
- Digital boundaries
- Building open communication with children
- Improving online safety at home

Date: Thursday 11 December 2025
Time: 1.15pm or 4.15pm (choose one session)

These sessions will provide practical advice on social media, gaming, privacy settings and how to have effective conversations with your child about staying safe online.

We strongly encourage all parents and carers to attend one of these sessions and join us in supporting our young people to stay safe online.
