Dear Colleague, 

This week we have a new resource to address sexting, tips for parents to keep children safe during lockdown and ideas to help prepare for Safer Internet Day:

• Sexting - new UKCIS guidance for schools (as recommended in Keeping Children Safe in Education)
• Parent Facebook Live - recorded sessions now available
• Safer Internet Day - are you ready?
• Spring CPD Programme - FREE remote training for staff
• BETT 2021 finalist - COVID-19 Response Champions Awards.  

The UKCIS guidance for schools has been fully revised. 'Sharing nudes and semi-nudes: advice for education settings' has great advice on responding to incidents with new case studies to share with SLT, DSLs and staff. 

If you missed our Parent Facebook Live with expert guests over Christmas, we've recorded them, featuring the latest trends, risk and advice on:

Setting parental controls, gaming & social media - Internet Matters

Child sexual exploitation & extremism - Parent Zone, Marie Collins Foundation

Gangs & online exploitation - CEOP and Unique Talent

Why not share with parents and carers via your communication channels? 

Safer Internet Day 2021 is on 9th February. Seen their new assembly and lesson plans, age-appropriate games and parent section for ideas to plan your day?

All our training has been updated with latest advice to keep children safe during lockdown and remote learning. Sessions are now FREE and remote.

We're thrilled to be recognised nationally as a finalist for the Bett 2021 - The Covid-19 Response Champions Awards. 

A reminder that our Coronavirus Safeguarding page has lots of guidance and  resources for DSLs, staff, pupils, parents and carers, including Zoom, Teams and Google Meet settings.

Keep up the great work and remember we're here to support you!
