Childnet’s annual film competition is once again inviting children and young people aged 7-18 to create a two-minute film or storyboard about staying safe online.

With Ofsted committed to inspect all schools by summer 2025, many schools are taking the opportunity to evaluate their self-assessment processes and update their improvement plans.

Online safety in schools remains one of the biggest safeguarding challenges because of the ever-evolving technological landscape combined with complex human behaviours.

DSLs will have discussed with the School IT Manager what websites they want blocked so that pupils can’t access these from school devices.

Safeguarding is a top priority at Cobham Free School and this is addressed through a whole school system that fully utilises and draws together different aspects of school life.

Keeping Children Safe in Education 2022 is out now for consultation with the Department for Education laying out its planned changes for next September.

The consultation focuses on the impact of the 2021 guidance rather than introducing any new or significant changes. Instead the consultation builds on existing messages including those on domestic abuse and sexual violence and sexual harrassment, which has been incorporated into KCSIE 2022 from the DfE sexual violence and sexual harassment guidance.
