Safeguarding Information

Safeguarding legislation and government guidance says that safeguarding means:

  • Protecting children from maltreatment
  • Preventing impairment of children’s health or development
  • Ensuring that children are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care
  • Taking action to enable all children and young people to have the best outcome

 

Safeguarding includes child protection, health care plans, health and safety, site security, safety on school trips, anti-bullying work and so much more.

So what is Online Safety?

 

  • Online Safety is concerned with safeguarding children, young people and indeed adults in the digital world.
  • It is about learning to understand and use new technologies and Information Communication Technology (ICT) in a positive way.
  • Online Safety is not about restricting children, but educating them about the risks as well as the benefits so they can feel confident and happy online.
  • It is about being educated ourselves so we are able to support and help children and young people online.
