On-line Safety Policy

PREVENT Policy 23-24

Child Protection is one of many aspects of Safeguarding, it is the term used to describe the actions to protect a specific child or children, who are suffering or liable to suffer significant harm.

 

Further support for parents and carers

All children are taught about keeping safe through age appropriate lessons as part of our PSHRE (Personal, Social, Health and Relationship Education) and Computing curriculums, as well as part of every day learning.

Please use the PowerPoints below to start a discussion with your child. There are many resources that offer further guidance, view the links below:

Most children enjoy generally happy childhood experiences within their own family. Unfortunately for some this is not the case. During difficult family times, everyone who knows the child must do the best they can to protect them from future harm.


Spot Abuse

You may be concerned about a child or young person. You may or may not know them, or even their name. Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. Abuse can take many different forms, such as neglect, sexual abuse, physical abuse and even emotional abuse.


Take Responsibility

Don’t assume that someone else will take responsibility and make that phone call. You could help to save a child’s life. If you are worried, report it.
