The Internet and Technology As a school we have a duty of care to ensure we are providing opportunities for children to learn how to use technological devices as well provide an education in how to be safe. We all know that IT has a fantastic amount of good uses and we need to be seen to promote these alongside teaching children good habits as unfortunately they can face potential dangers. It is about having the knowledge of these ‘hazards’ and school and home working together to help children make the right decisions and choices.
