Sábháilteacht ar líne

Is scil rí-thábhachtach í an tsábháilteacht ar líne atá ag éirí níos tábhachtaí de réir mar a bhíonn ár bpáistí ag bogadh tríd domhan digiteach. Beidh an leathanach seo tiomnaithe do leideanna cabhracha a chur ar fáil do thuismitheoirí agus muid ag iarraidh a sábháilteacht ar líne a chinntiú.

Mar scoil, cuirimid pleananna agus beartais i bhfeidhm chun a chinntiú go bhfuil tuiscint ag na páistí ar a saol ar líne agus na guaiseacha a d’fhéadfadh a bheith rompu.

An Cód Deonach

Is cód comhaontaoithe i measc tuismitheoirí sa scoil é an Cód deonach gan ligean dá bpáiste fón cliste a bheith aige/aici go dtí go mbeidh siad críochnaithe leis an mbunscoil. Ní smachtbhanna é seo ach cur chuige atá comhsheasmhach le torthaí staidéar iomadúil ar thionchar fóin chliste ar leanaí óga. Creidimid, trí an chód deonach a chur chun cinn, go gceadaímid do na tuismitheoirí luach a chur chun cinn sa mhéid is go bhfuil a fhios acu nach mbraithfidh a bpáiste brú óna bpiaraí.

The voluntary Code is an agreement among parents in the school to abstain from allowing their child to have a smart phone until they are finished in primary school. This is not a sanction but rather an approach that is consistent with the findings of numerous studies of the impact of smartphones on young children. We believe that in promoting a voluntary code we allow the parents to promote a value in the knowledge that their child will not feel the pangs of peer pressure.

Sna Meáin

FOLLOWING A RECENT survey, that astoundingly found almost one in four (24%) of Irish six-year-olds have their own smartphone, Education Minister Norma Foley met with leaders and decision makers of Ireland’s social media, technology and smartphone companies to progress work to keep children and young people safe online.

The survey carried out by the polling firm Amárach earlier this month, questioned 900 parents of children aged 5 to 17 on behalf of Irish charity CyberSafeKids.

It found that over half (52%) of parents do not feel confident about how to teach children how to stay safe on the internet.

It gets worse.

Almost half (45%) of 10-year-olds are allowed to use smartphones in their bedrooms. Just over one in four parents (28%) use parental controls and only one in five (20%) felt the good the internet could bring their children outweighed the risks.

Is éard atá i Webwise ná tionscnamh sábháilteachta ar líne na Roinne Oideachais agus tá sé comhmhaoinithe ag an Aontas Eorpach. Beidh na múinteoirí ag múineadh ceachtanna ó acmhainní Webwise agus gach Déardaoin cuirfimid leid amach a bhaineann le húsáid scáileáin agus paistí.
