E-Safety

Schools are well placed to help children stay safe online and raise awareness with parents about how to ensure devices at home have appropriate security settings. Providing pupils with the tools to stay safe online and understand the impacts of the digital world can support the 2019 OFSTED framework, Section 28 Personal Development: …prepares learners for life in modern Britain by equipping them to be responsible, respectful, active citizens who contribute positively to society. Understanding ‘the distinction between the online world and other aspects of life’ including relationships is core to the government’s new statutory Relationship Education, Relationship and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education guidance.
