On - line Safety
We recognise that having a child living away from home can be an anxious time for parents. Our aim is to help you as much as we can with the adjustment of having a child at a residential school and support you throughout your child ’ s time with us. Alderwasley Hall School Welcome to Although you will have contact with the staff team during your child ’ s assessment / stay, we hope this guide will re - affirm any of the conversations you have with our staff and provide a valuable reference guide for you in the future. If you have a question that you feel is not answered in the guide, or require more information on a particular matter please do not hesitate to contact me.
As a school we aim to keep our stu- dents safe. This includes keeping the young people safe when online. We
want to ensure the young people are using 'the internet and their devices that are internet enabled, safely and encourage the young people's understanding of internet safety through key learning styles delivered through the Charity 'Safe and Sound which works with our students to understand how to safely navigate the internet. The young people also receive support and learning with their key workers to develop their understanding of internet safety in their e - safety booklet. We believe by having the young people's devices and equipment checked and the IP address taken by our IT manager will keep the students safe when using their computers in school due to the use of our secure WIFI systems. Parents will need to sign to agree this and also agree to taking responsibility for any of the young people's devices they have not given consent to be checked by the IT Manager. We have an internet agreement for parents to read and, if you agree to the contents, sign the internet agreement to allow your child to have individualised access to the internet. The school and homes may make the decision to remove a students mobile phone or other device should there be concerns around the unsafe use of the internet or inappropriate use of the device, we will make parents aware of our concerns and work with you to ensure that your child's safety comes first.
Best wishes
