Hector and E-Safety

This week the children have met a new friend. His name is Hector and he is a dolphin. He swims on our computer desktops at school. He is there so that when we use the computers and internet if we see something that makes us feel confused or scared we can click on Hector. A big picture of hector swimming in the sea and some calm water music plays and covers the screen completely while you ask an adult for help.


While our internet filter blocks inappropriate material from the children we do use search engines which can show them pictures of things they don’t like or that scare them like spiders or snakes. Hector has been introduced as a way for children to cope with this.
