Abstract

The importance of e-safety in primary school communities is particularly significant, given that teachers and parents bear the main responsibility for shaping safe media use habits in young users. The purpose of this study is to discuss issues of e-safety during emergency remote teaching., 20 teachers, 10 principals, and 12 parents of primary school students participated in semi-structured interviews. The questions concerned primary school students' social media accounts, the provision of information to parents by the school on e-safety issues, the possibility of increased risks on the internet during emergency remote teaching, their ability to manage digital risks themselves, the need for training on e-safety issues, the support required on e-safety issues, focusing on cases of emergency remote teaching. The results showed that all participants are aware that primary school pupils have social media accounts, consider it very important for schools to inform parents about e-safety issues and seek such information, believe that the risks on the internet increase during emergency remote teaching, do not feel very confident about their ability to manage digital risks by themselves, express the need for training on e-safety issues, and request support on e-safety issues, focusing on cases of emergency remote teaching.
