What is e-safety?
e-Safety is essentially about creating a safe working environment when using new technologies. It is regularly associated with the use of the
internet, but not exclusively, and it does involve adults as well as children.
"To ignore e-safety issues when implementing the requirements of Every Child Matters could ultimately lead to significant gaps in child
protection policies, leaving children and young people vulnerable."
