At St Martins we work hard to help keep our student safe. This page is another way that we aim to help you stay safe online.
“When you’re online, remember the 4 Cs: Be careful about the Content you see, think about the Contact you have with others, be kind with your Conduct online, and stay safe when using Commercial websites, games, or adverts. If anything makes you feel worried, confused, or upset, talk to a trusted adult.”
The 4 Cs Explained for Children
- Content – Some things online may not be suitable for children.
- Contact – Not everyone online is who they say they are.
- Conduct – Be respectful and kind when chatting, posting, or gaming.
- Commercial – Be careful of adverts, in-app purchases, and scams that try to get your money or information.
Remember: Stop, Think, Check, and Tell a Trusted Adult if something doesn’t feel right.
