E-Safety
What is it?
E-safety is about the protection of children whilst they are using the internet and digital technologies. This includes: risk-taking and inappropriate behaviour by children and young people; risks and inappropriate behaviour by others to children and young people; illegal activity.
Parents’ E-Safety Survey
We would be really grateful if you could complete our e-safety survey. Whilst our school strives to empower your children with the knowledge to stay safe, it is important that you have a good awareness of the risks and dangers yourself.
Report Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying is the use of Information Communication Technology (ICT), particularly mobile phones and the Internet to deliberately upset someone else.
- Tell someone, report on Moodle using the ‘Report it’ tool on the homepage. Or report it here.
- Save evidence and take screenshots.
- Block the bully (on IM, social networking sites, etc.).
- Don’t reply or retaliate to things they say or do.
- Contact your mobile service provider (if bothered by txts, etc).
