Online Safety

Online safety

Children use the internet to learn, play and keep in touch. At Cadmore End, we teach children how to use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly, and how to ask for help if something worries them.

How families can help at home

• Talk regularly about the games, videos and apps your child enjoys. Explore them together and check their age guidance and privacy settings.
• Agree simple family rules about who your child may communicate with, what they may share and when devices are used.
• Remind your child think carefully before sharing images or personal information online.
• Encourage your child to tell a trusted adult if they see something upsetting, receive an uncomfortable message or make a mistake online. Reassure them that they will be helped.
• Use parental controls where appropriate, while continuing to talk with your child about their online experiences.

If you are worried about something that has happened online

Please contact the school and ask to speak to a designated safeguarding lead. If a child is at immediate risk, call 999. You can report concerns about online sexual abuse or grooming to the CEOP Safety Centre. CEOP does not handle reports of cyberbullying; please speak to us about bullying involving a pupil.
