E-Safety

In the world of digital media, it is vitally important that we teach our children how to stay safe when they are using the internet - both in school and when at home.  Similarly, we appreciate that the rapid advances in technology means that adults need as much up-to-date, relevant information too. We endeavour to support parents through sending home regular updates in newsletters or leaflets and posts on our digital platforms, including here.

Please refer to this regularly and let us know if there's a new App or game that the children are engaged with that you may need us to check out. Safeguarding is everyone's business, so if you have any concerns that a child you know may be at risk because of their internet use, please report it to the Head Teacher or directly to the First Response Children's Duty Team: Telephone: 0116 3050005 or email: childrensduty@leics.gov.uk

Always be careful when you are using the internet. It can help you to keep in touch with your friends and help your education – but it can also cause harm – to you and to others.

Remember help is always available at school if you are having any problems online.

Don’t be afraid to talk to your teacher or another adult at school.

Tips for staying safe online:

• Make sure you keep new online friends strictly online. If someone you don't know asks to be your online friend you must ensure an adult knows about it.
• Know how to use the CEOP Button and how to report it to the CEOP Centre if you are concerned about someone’s online behaviour towards you.
