| Framework Summary | Description | ||||||||
| Whole school consistent approach | a |
School leadership and management make e-safety a priority across all areas of the school.
All teaching and non-teaching staff can recognise and are aware of e-safety issues. Every member of staff needs to be aware of the risks posed by the online activity of extremist and terrorist groups. High priority is given to training in e-safety, extending expertise widely and building internal capacity. The Headteacher, Deputy Headteacher and Head of Care have attended WRAP training. The contribution of pupils, parents, carers and the wider school community is valued and integrated. |
