Online Safety

With the increased amount of time students (and all of us) spend online, it is understandable that there is growing concern about how to keep young people safe in this environment.

Mrs Byford (Head of PSHE) has recently sent out an email with links to the latest 'Online Safety At Home' packs from the thinkuknow CEOP Education Team. For ease of reference you can find the links that have been recommended below.


The resources aim to help parents and carers in supporting their child with online safety at home. "With children and young people relying on their tech at home for learning and entertainment during lockdown, it remains vital to keep conversations about online safety going and raise awareness of reporting routes if something goes wrong."(thinkuknow.co.uk)
