E-safety, or staying safe online, has become a key part of all children's safety in this digital age. As a primary school, we take this area of child safety very seriously. As digital technology is regarded as an indispensible tool for both teaching and learning at Duffield Meadows, all staff sign and agree to the terms set out in the school policy. All pupils in school and their parents have also signed to agree to the terms set out in the age-appropriate agreements for EYFS/Key Stage 1 or Key Stage 2, . Regular participation in events such as www.saferinternetday.org, are supplemented by recurrent, age-appropriate, teaching. We also hold parent events on this subject - please keep an eye on newsletters for the next date.
There are numerous sites with excellent advice for both parents and children, some of which we have listed below. Please also find downloadable including those available from both Derbyshire County Council and the Department of Education.
Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) centre advice for children of all ages (5+) and parents of children - advice and videos.
UK Safer Internet Centre advice for parents includes guides to setting up parental controls provided by a number of internet service providers.
