Reviewed your policies? We've updated our templates, acceptable use policies (AUPs) and an online safety policy for September 2020: safepolicies.lgfl.net

And finally, we are working with a group on new national guidance for sexting and are looking for the latest terms used in schools. Please hit reply if you know of any terms that young people use in your school this year (beyond nudes, pics, d*** pics). Do you know any others?

Good luck with the new term. Stay well and remember we are here to support you with all things safeguarding!
