At Lyppard Grange Primary School, we pride ourselves on teaching children to keep themselves and others safe online. We have a committee of members dedicated to making sure all children, staff and parents know how to keep themselves safe online and are supported fully with any online safety concerns.
Our Committee consists of;
- Online Safety Coordinator (OSC) -Rachel Wallace
- Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) -Dave Groves
- Pupil representatives from each year (Pupil Leadership Team)
- Governor with responsibility for Online Safety -Alan Hughes
Formal meetings are held at least once a term. Informal ‘catch ups’ will take place in between as concerns, new possibilities for technology or ideas for increasing impact of online safety occur.
Meeting may include:
With pupils
- What are the children doing at home?
- What are the latest fads?
- What have the pupils been taught since the last meeting?
- What do pupils need to be told about?
- What actions could contribute to increasing online safety in the school?
