E-Safety
E-Safety is an important part of keeping children safe at Bussage. 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. All pupils are taught Digital Citizenship through Common Sense Media Education.
The Common Sense lessons teach children to develop healthy media habits and learn how to be safe online. As they progress through the school, our children will also learn about how to recognize cyberbullying, what is and isn’t OK to share online and how to find credible news and information.
This is all documented in our online safety policy on our Policies page -
We can only be successful in keeping children safe online if we work with parents to ensure the e-Safety message is consistent. It is important that parents speak to their children about how they can keep safe and behave appropriately online.
It’s essential to be realistic - banning the internet or technology will not work and it often makes a child less likely to report a problem. Education around safe use is essential.
