esafety
In school we aim to raise awareness linked to e-safety so that students:
- Can make their own informed decisions based on accurate information
- Are aware of responsibilities linked to their actions when using various forms technology e.g. internet; chat rooms; text; e-mail
- Know how to report suspicious behaviour on the internet
- Know where they can go for support, help and advice, in addition to that offered at home and school.
We recognise that parents and carers may also welcome additional information on e-safety so that they are aware of how to keep themselves and their children safe on line; you may find the links below useful.

End 2 End Encryption
End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is being introduced by some social media and messaging platforms to enhance privacy for their users – but if this is done without putting the necessary child safety measures in place, it could pose a risk. At the moment, these social media and messaging companies scan their platforms to find and report child sexual abuse material (such as images, videos, and grooming conversations) to law enforcement, so that abusers are arrested, and children are protected.
