E-Safety
At Gatton, we take E-Safety seriously and strive to equip our students and parents with the information and support they need to stay safe online. We provide parents with weekly up-to-date E-Safety tips in our Jummuah notices.
Broadband controls
Most broadband providers include parental controls for free as part of their broadband package, which means that any device that connects to your Wi-Fi will be protected by any controls you set up. Find out how to set yours up here:

Remember, children may have devices that use mobile data, so they won’t always be connected to your internet so ensure you set up parental controls on those devices too. Further information: https://saferinternet.org.uk/guideand-resource/parental-controlsoffered-by-your-home-internetprovi
