Online Safety

If you have an Online Safety concern, please contact one of Designated Safeguarding Leads (information on how to do this can be found here)

We welcome and encourage the use of new technologies and aim to use them, when they are appropriate, to support children enhancing their work.

We recognise our responsibility to take all reasonable measures to ensure that the risks of harm to children’s welfare are minimised; and, where there are concerns about young people’s welfare, to take appropriate actions to address those concerns. 

Our work regarding online safety with children is supported through the Computing and PSHE curriculums.  The knowledge and skills children need to remain safe online are taught throughout the year and to all year groups in an age appropriate way. 

*****

Should you or someone else need support outside of the school day, please email us at our help email address to inform us of any issue and ensure the correct staff are made aware and can support moving forwards:

help@havant-tkat.org

This will alert the designated safeguarding leads at the Academy who will then contact you to discuss the  issues and plan support.

The internet is a fantastic resource which allows children to connect, communicate and be creative in many different ways. However, the internet is always changing, and being able to keep up to date with your children’s use of technology can be a challenge and very daunting.  Children still need advice and protection when it comes to managing their interactions online. 

Below are some online resources to support with talking about issues relating to online safety at home:

• NSPCC

• Childnet

• Internet Matters
