Online Safety
Working together to keep children safe online
As parents, carers, teachers and support staff we know that young people today have access to an overwhelming amount of material online, some of which provides useful resources to support them in their learning, but some which can be highly inappropriate and even put them in danger.
At Sydney Russell School we teach our students about how to stay safe online as well as how to use social media correctly, raising awareness of the difficulties young people can face when using social media inappropriately which can result in friendship miscommunications and issues. Through our curriculum, specifically in computing and PSHE/Civics, as well as through assemblies and whole school focus events we raise awareness of the importance of staying safe online as well as ensuring children know what to do and who to turn to if they have a problem or encounter something which they are uncomfortable with.
