Staying safe online
At St Alban’s we are committed to keeping our pupils safe online. We recognise both the benefits and possible risks of using technologies and therefore aim to guard against these risks by educating both staff and pupils at our school.
e-Cadet school
We are an e-cadet school. Our pupils are at the heart of our mission to keep all pupils safe online. We have an e-cadet crew who meet regularly and work hard to teach the other pupils how to stay safe online and organise event days to raise awareness.
360 safe
We use ‘360 Safe’ an online self-audit tool to help us regularly review our online safety policy and procedure and ensure best practice is adopted to keep our pupils safe.
Please don’t hesitate to speak to us if you have any concerns about anything your child is doing or experiencing on the internet.
All children have a right to access reliable information and a right to protection of privacy.
