At Westlands First School,  we take the safety of our children very seriously.  The pace of technology in today’s world is incredibly rapid so E-Safety is incredibly important.  At Westlands, we teach our children about both the benefits and dangers of using modern technology, providing them with a range of strategies for how to keep themselves and others safe when using it.
