Online Safety

Online Safety is an important part of keeping children safe at Sir Christopher Hatton.  We have extensive security measures in place in school, which are monitored both internally and externally, to help safeguard pupils from potential dangers or unsuitable material.  Any Online Safety incidents are recorded and managed.  Online Safety is taught to all students explaining and demonstrating how to stay safe and behave appropriately online.

We can only be successful in keeping children safe online if we work with parents to ensure the Online Safety message is consistent.  It is important that parents speak to their children about how they can keep safe and behave appropriately online.

Who do I contact with an online safety concern/query?
