Online Safety
Online Safety Guidance
At Integrated College Glengormley, we are committed to helping our pupils, parents, and staff navigate the digital world safely and responsibly. The internet offers incredible opportunities for learning, creativity, and connection—but it also comes with risks that we all need to understand and manage.
This page brings together a series of short, engaging videos designed to support our school community in developing healthy online habits, staying safe on social media and gaming platforms, and recognising and responding to cyberbullying. Whether you’re a student looking for practical tips, a parent wanting to support your child, or a teacher seeking resources, you’ll find helpful guidance here.
We also encourage all our parents to sign up for the Safer Schools NI app which provides timely advice on online safety including latest trends and dangers.
Together, we can build a safer, kinder, and more respectful online environment.
