Digital Safeguarding
The use of technology is becoming a transformational tool for learning. Whilst the use of a wide range of different technologies can undoubtedly enhance pupils' learning experiences, there is a considerable need to ensure that all pupils are protected when embracing technologies such as accessing information on the internet.
Our strategies and procedures for promoting the safe use of technology is identified in our Digital Safety Policy.
In order to keep pupils safe in their use of online resources, we use the SMART acronym as seen below. These posters are displayed in all classes in the school and as part of our safeguarding display to remind pupils of their responsibilities.
