Online Safety is an integral part of safeguarding our children at Cavell. Our PD and Computing Curriculum plays an important role in educating our children on how to keep safe online. Every Computing lesson- across the school- provides children with a platform to regularly discuss online safety.
Our Online Safety Curriculum has been informed by the Education for a Connected World Framework and aims to give children the skills to recognise when things are not safe; know where to go to get help; who to talk to and how to ask for help or advice. We also support this in classes by displaying online safety posters and providing opportunities for children to tour child appropriate supporting/ reporting concerns sites.
Each week online safety messages- designed by the National Online Safety- are also shared with our families in our newsletter.
The online world is posing an ever-increasing risk to children and, as part of safeguarding our children, it is important that schools, parents and carers work together to take an active role in teaching children about the dangers online.
