E-safety

At Hambrook one of the key principles of our safeguarding policies and computing curriculum is e-safety. This links to our school behaviours and values which help keep our school community safe, and educates our children on the importance of their online footprints. We want our children to understand both the benefits and risks of the digital world. This is supported by our annual computing week and through units of work for each year group within our Hambrook curriculum, which focuses on e-safety at an age appropriate level. We also work closely with providers such as the NSPCC to provide assemblies and workshops for staff and students to ensure information is up to date and relevant in a world which changes and evolves rapidly.

Useful websites with information for parents regarding e-safety at home:

UK Safer Internet Centre – advice about devices, parental controls, conversations you can have and safety tools - www.saferinternet.org.uk/parents-and-carers

They also have guides to many popular social media platforms here: www.saferinternet.org.uk/social-media-guides
