Keeping Children Safe

At Southglade Primary and Nursery School we take our joint responsibility with parents to keep our children safe very seriously.

As a result, we have produced this part of the website to provide useful links to documents and web pages to help parents to keep children safe.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. If you are concerned about a child you can contact the Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) on 0115 8764800.

E-Safety

Keeping children safe online is a key area of safeguarding as children become more and more confident using techonology. During lockdown children developed many useful skills when learning online. We also recognise that children have spent more time on devices recently than ever before. Therefore we have sent an e-safety newsletter to all parents which is available below. At the start of each unit of computing in school children look at e-safety, so this topic is regularly covered in school.

In 2022 we started using the Safer Schools App. The app is full of useful tips to keep your child safe online and provides simple easy to follow guides for parents about important issues such as parental controls and age rating. Pupils can also download the app to their smart phone- please contact reception for the access code.

To find out more see the letter below which was sent out in September 2022.
