Safeguarding

We have to recognise that while technology plays an important role in our children's everyday lives there are risks involved. It is important that while we provide our children with the skills and knowledge to use ever expanding technology we also provide high quality e-safety education. We want all of our children to use the technology confidently but also to feel comfortable enough to deal with any issues that may arise.

It is important that we all play a part in our children's developing online safety knowledge and understanding. This page will contain links to useful newsletters and general online safety advice.
 

Out of Hours and Summer Safeguarding- Advice for Parents

Most of us look forward to the summer break with great excitement but for some young people it can be a time of anxiety especially for those who rely on regular face-to-face contacts with their friends or who enjoy the security and structure provided by the school day.

If you are concerned about any young person in respect of their emotional wellbeing or you feel that they are vulnerable to harm or abuse and you are uncertain whether they are receiving support you may wish to contact one of the agencies listed. Many of the agencies have established links and will ensure that your concern or query is directed to the appropriate agency.

The relaxed atmosphere of a summer break can also lead to young people lowering their guard. Please continue to talk to the young people in your care about online and social media safety and encourage them to share any concerns that they have about any contacts they receive. CEOP have an excellent website called "Think u know" which can be accessed on Think U Know. On the website there is a "Support Tools section on the top menu from which you can access a number of informative films which you may wish to watch on your own or with young people in your care.
