Online safety is a shared practice, not a one-off checklist.

Safeguarding procedures, staff conduct, controlled learning environments and routes for reporting concerns form part of the school’s responsibility for pupils.

Clear rules for identity, communication, recording, access and behaviour help protect pupils and preserve a purposeful learning environment.

Parents and carers remain important in device settings, home routines, age-appropriate boundaries and conversations about social media, gaming and harmful content.

Pupils and families should know who to contact when something feels unsafe. Immediate risk should always be directed to the appropriate emergency or statutory service.
