Dear Parents/Carers,
Please be aware of the ways we support children and parents with issues related to the use of social media. As laid out in our behaviour policy we:
-
Explicitly teach ways of staying safe using technology in the 21st Century in PHSCE and the wider curriculum;
-
Ensure school staff are required to undertake regularly updated safeguarding and child protection training, which includes understanding, preventing and responding to cyberbullying;
-
Arrange regular visits to school by external partners such as external safeguarding partner – Clennell Education;
-
Plan opportunities when the school can raise awareness through activities such as Safer Internet Day;
-
Ask all Parents / Carers to closely monitor their child’s internet activity and information communications technology (e.g. mobile phones, emails etc.) ;
-
Provide opportunities for training for Parents & Carers on e-safety
If parents wish for any further information or support in this area, do not hesitate to get in touch.
Take care,
Liam Murtagh – Headteacher
