Even though lockdown might be over, it is still important to be aware of keeping our children safe online.
With this in mind, CEOP have produced some home learning packs for parents to use with their children.

PANTS - NSPCC Advice for Parents
Being a parent always seems to mean lots of worrying, especially when it comes to keeping your child or children safe.
All parents worry about different types of abuse and how to talk to their children about some of these issues.
The NSPCC have a really useful website called 'Talk Pants.' This site teaches children important messages, like their body belongs to them and they should tell an adult if they're upset or worried. There are activities for children on there and also advice for parents.
Below you will see a link to the website and also a leaflet for parents providing some useful advice.

Safer Schools App
We use the Safer Schools App in partnership with Zurich Municipal. This interactive app provides parents, children and staff with up to date information on safeguarding in our ever-changing world. This app contains school news and updates, dynamic and up-to-date safety information and also includes access to the Online Safety Centre. This provides children, parents and staff with information on how to report, block and set safety preferences across each social media platform.
