Online safety

Our staff are committed to ensuring that the young people in our care develop digital resilience to help them stay safe online. Online safety is a core part of safeguarding; as such it is everyone’s job at In Toto Ed.

  

We have regular e-safety lessons for the students, detailing in an age-appropriate way how they can keep safe online. We regularly communicate with our parent and carer community to provide advice and updates on online safety, and organise training for staff, parents and carers.

​

Within our provision we carefully filter and monitor content to ensure that students are kept safe online. At home, e-safety is a parental responsibility and we are happy to provide general advice on how this can be achieved. 

If you have any concerns please contact your Head of Provision.

 

Top Tips - online safety

Keep the computer in a family area.

  1. Use 'child lock' or filter settings on your web browser to help prevent unsuitable site access by your child.

  2. Talk to your child about using a strong password for every one of their online accounts.

  3. Regularly supervise the sites your child is visiting.

  4. Encourage your child to use their ‘Favourites’ list to access the sites you have approved to prevent accidental entry to unsuitable sites.

  5. Educate yourself on appropriate age ratings of social media sites before allowing your child to access them. You can find out more about this from Open View Education.  

  6. Talk to your child about the tools and strategies they should use to deal with issues they may face online, such as cyber bullying or seeing inappropriate content.

  7. Ensure your child is informed on where and how to report an online issue that they may face.

  8. Agree with older children in the home what sites they are allowed to access.

  9. Keep all personal details private.

 

Above all, talk to your child about things online you can enjoy together and ways to stay involved in their digital world.
