We want to support our parents by making them aware of issues using technology, so that they can be able to actively guide their children effectively and support them to become safe digital citizens. After all, there is a strong likelihood that our children’s future jobs will involve using technology that probably hasn’t even be invented yet.
This is why it is important pupils learn how to be safe when browsing online and becoming members of online communities. The eSafety of our children is of paramount importance to the academy and something that we monitor and revisit regularly. We also work closely with Nottinghamshire County Council to ensure that we are up to date with current advice and practice. Our On-line Safety Policy explains how we do this and is available for you to download on our policies page.
We know that parents and carers will also be very concerned that their children are protected and safe when using the Internet, both in our academy and at home. We have added some documents- which can be found in the above boxes- that contain useful information on how to keep your children safe, tips on how to initiate conversations around the subject of On-line Safety and specific advice on online gaming. We have also included various links opposite that will direct you to further information from external organisations.
Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place via technology. As a parent/carer it can be difficult to know who to turn to for help and advice. CEOP and other experts in this field offer this advice and practical steps on how to protect and support their child if they are being cyberbullied.
