Digital Safety Awareness
Helping Students Thrive Safely Online
Digital technology offers children exciting for learning, creativity and connection. It can also expose them to risks such as cyberbullying, scams, inappropriate content, unwanted contact, misinformation and pressure to share personal information or images.
At GEMS Founders School, Dubai, digital safety is an integral part of students’ safeguarding and wellbeing. We work in partnership with students and families to encourage responsible, respectful and safe behaviour online.
How Can Parents Support Children Digital Safety:
Reporting a Concern to GFS
Students and parents are encouraged to report any digital safety or safeguarding concern as soon as possible.

Students may also speak directly to any trusted member of staff.
A Message for Families
Online risks change rapidly, and new apps, platforms and technologies emerge all the time. The most effective way to keep children safe online is through a combination of education, open communication and ongoing support.
By working together, we can help every child become a safe, responsible and confident digital citizen.
