Online Safety and Digital Citizenship are an important part of keeping children safe. At Abingdon, we have extensive security measures in place in school, which are monitored to help safeguard our students from potential dangers or unsuitable material.
Any online incidents are recorded and managed. Online Safety and Digital Citizenship are taught to all students, explaining and demonstrating how to stay safe and behave appropriately online. It is made very clear to all students how online activity can have offline consequences and can affect their wellbeing and future employability.
The School’s anti-bullying, safeguarding, ICT and social media policies offer procedures and advice on all aspects of eSafety.
We acknowledge that we can only be successful in keeping children safe online if we work with parents to ensure the Online Safety and Digital Citizenship message is consistent. It is important that parents speak to their children about how they can keep safe and behave appropriately online.
