An episode all about how we do homework at Shears Green.

Join Mr P for this week’s Shears Green update on helping children feel safe and confident online. Discover simple conversation starters for a five-minute family check-in, alongside advice on sharing photographs, understanding AI-altered images and choosing one small step to improve online safety.

The key message for every child: you can always ask for help.

Watch the accompanying parent video and explore September’s online safety newsletter to keep the conversation going at home.
