All children and staff Sign code of conduct for using the internet. Cyberbullying - Can be defined as the use of ICT, particularly mobile phones and the internet, deliberately to upset someone else. It can be an extension of face to face bullying. It differs in several significant ways from other kinds of bullying, the invasion of home and personal space, the size of the audience, the perceived anonymity. This is linked to our anti-bullying policy. Offer reassurance and support. Don’t be afraid to ask questions Tell your child that if they are being bullied to always keep the evidence Block the bullies Learn how to report and where to go for further support What is grooming? A process by which an individual prepares a child for abuse. This is usually perpetrated by a significant adult in the child’s life either at home or somewhere else in the child’s environment. Grooming is a conscious, purposeful, and carefully planned approach used by the offender to gain access to the child, gain the child’s trust and compliance and maintain the child’s secrecy to provide opportunities to abuse and reduce the likelihood of being reported or discovered. Talk to your child about online grooming. Explain how easy it can be to lie online and the reasons why an adult may wish to contact them online. Talk about their online friends. Ask them to think carefully about who they chat and share information with. If they don’t know them in the real world they need to delete or limit what they share with them, such as their location, photos and videos. Let your child know that you are always there for support. Let them know that you understand how easy it can be to get into difficulties online. Get them to talk to you if anyone makes inappropriate/ sexual comments and that, no matter what’s happened, you are there to help. Learn how to report any inappropriate contact made to your child online.

Child Sexual Exploitation CSE – something that adults would rather not talk about but the best way of protecting children from harm is if adults do just that. It is a form of sexual abuse in which a young person is manipulated or forced into taking part in a sexual act. This could be part of a seemingly consensual relationship, or in return for attention, affection, money, drugs, alcohol or somewhere to stay. Sexual abuse thrives on secrecy. Talking to and listening to your child is the best protection. Monitor your child for signs they are happy. Attention – Be aware of who is paying attention to your children and who their friends are Respect your child's wishes if they don’t want to be with someone or stay somewhere Talk openly to your children about keeping safe, if your child does confide in you, listen calmly and be reassuring (Leaflet on this for Parents from Parents Protect website)
