Internet Safety
The online world offers incredible opportunities — but safeguards must be in place to ensure every child is kept safe at all times.
Our Policy
Keeping children safe online
Blue Sky Learning works with children and families as part of its activities. The purpose of our online safety policy is to ensure the safety and wellbeing of children and young people is paramount when using the internet, social media or mobile devices.
We believe that children and young people should never experience abuse of any kind, and that children should be able to use the internet for education and personal development with safeguards in place.
We Believe
The online world provides opportunities but also presents risks

Partnership with families is essential to keep children safe
All children have equal right to protection from harm
