Online Safety

Schools are required by the Dept. of Education to put in place strengthened measures to protect children from harm online – including cyber-bullying, sexting, pornography and the risk of radicalisation. Schools will:

• need to have appropriate filters and monitoring systems, so that no child can access harmful content via the school’s IT systems and concerns can be spotted quickly
• be required to ensure that they teach their pupils about safeguarding, including online
