Online Safety
Online Safety at School
E Safety is an integral part of our curriculum at Two Bridges Academy. It is embedded into practice across each pathway to ensure pupils are supported to navigate the online world safely and positively, across a wide range of technologies. It is also taught through the PSHE curriculum.
Online Safety at home
Technology is everywhere and plays a huge important part in all of our lives. Parentsafe has some really useful information and advice to help parents to allow their children to access technology safely and healthily. This includes useful apps and settings for phones and computers which can help parents stay in control of internet use, and help children stay safe. Please discuss how to stay safe, make sensible choices online, remember that people online are still strangers and to be responsible members of the online community.
The NSPCC has teamed up with O2 in a campaign to keep children safe online. Their website is full of information such as how to talk to your learner about staying safe online and setting up parental controls

Where staff have an existing personal relationship with a parent or pupil, and thus are connected with them on social media, e.g. they are close family friends with a parent at the school, they will disclose this to the DSL and Headteacher and will ensure that their social media conduct relating to that parent is appropriate for their position in the school.
