Online Safety

Online Safety at Flushdyke Junior and Infant School

At Flushdyke Junior and Infant School, online safety is a key part of our safeguarding, PSHE and computing curriculums. We teach children how to use the internet safely, respectfully and responsibly, and we work with parents and carers to keep children safe online at home and at school.

All staff and children sign our Acceptable Use Policy. If you have any concerns about online safety, please contact our Designated Safeguarding Lead via the school office.

If a child is in immediate danger or you are worried about online abuse:

Click the CEOP button to report directly to the National Crime Agency:

CEOP Safety Centre: https://www.ceop.police.uk/safety-centre/
Childline: https://www.childline.org.uk/ or call 0800 1111

For Children - How to Stay Safe Online

Remember the five SMART rules:
Safe - Keep personal information safe
Meet - Never meet someone you only know online
Accepting - Don't accept messages from strangers
Reliable - Not everything online is true
Tell - Tell a trusted adult if something worries you
