Dear Colleague, 

Have you seen this new guidance out this week? Whilst not primarily a safeguarding document, it has quite a few links, particularly to Prevent but also to other areas where critical thinking about what you see or receive online could help young people spot efforts to groom them.

Below ⤵️ are a few snippets in the form of screenshots with highlighted elements that stood out to us. You could present them to staff as part of inset (use the scenarios in the document too). To help you with that, we've put this on a web page you can refer to alongside other key safeguarding docs (we're just getting started with developing that page into a whole resource with more on KCSIE, Ofsted and more coming soon (already lots there). Links at the bottom of this newsletter.

⬆️ Remember we offer Prevent training with the latest updates (safetraining.lgfl.net)

⬆️ Are your teachers ready / prepared / empowered to do this? fakenews.lgfl.net may help.

⬆️ Check our page onlinesafetyprinciples.lgfl.net for more on approaches (then head to saferesources.lgfl.net for curated resources)

⬆️ There's a great document that can help with this. Find the UKCIS document called 'Using External Visitors to Support Online Safety Education' from this page.

That's it for this time. Thanks for reading and sharing.

Don't forget there's lots happening at LGfL for other areas of the school beyond safeguarding:

• Extended Payment Terms on our Bridge the Divide Chromebooks - below cost price
• Other free training from LGfL teams
• Find out all we do beyond broadband here or make the most of your subscription here
• Sign up for one of the other newsletters

Have a great term!

Mark and Mubina
