On-Line Safety Keeping young people safe online is a priority for us. We want to ensure young people are using the internet and their devices safely, and we encourage their understanding of internet safety through programmes delivered by the charity ‘Safe & Sound’. Young people also receive support and learning through completing their E safety booklet with their Key Worker. We believe by having the young people’s devices and equipment checked and the IP address taken by our IT manager, we will keep young people safer when using their computers in school, due to the use of our secure WIFI systems. Parents will need to sign to agree to this and also agree to taking responsibility for any devices they have not given consent to be checked by the school IT Manager. We have an internet agreement for parents to read and sign to allow your child to have access to the internet (based on their specfic needs). The school and home may make a decision to remove a young persons phone or device if there are concerns about unsafe use of the internet. We will make you aware of our concerns and work with you to make sure your childs safety comes first.
Safeguarding when your child turns 18 years of age.
When your child turns 18 years of age they become an adult in law, unless it is established that they lack the mental capacity. It is important that we promote their independence and they will be given more decision making opportunites. This includes deciding what information is passed on to parents/carers and the frequency they contact you. All safeguarding concerns are still sent to parents regardless of the young persons age.
