Covid 19 Online Learning - Staying Safe
During these exceptional times, when children are required to stay home and complete significantly more online activity, we would ask that parents are increasingly vigilant with their children to online safety. Please see the guide attached which is specific to helping your child stay safe on our DB platform. The whistle icon on the platform is also designed to allow the children to report safeguarding issues immediately. We would also ask that you utilise the support material below which we regularly update.
Additionally, Thinkuknow is the education programme from NCA-CEOP, a UK organisation which protects children both online and offline. They have produced some home activity packs which can be downloaded using the following link https://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents/Support-tools/home-activity-worksheets/
