Online Safety

We take the safety of our children extremely seriously at Fibbersley Park, and this includes ensuring that they are safe when using ICT.

We are able to monitor our computer network to see what our users are doing. A clever piece of software runs silently on our computers, monitoring what people are doing. It sends reports to a database that we can then view, and we can intervene if we think any of our users are not using our computer system appropriately. It also makes us aware if any ‘outsiders’ try to make contact with our children.

This software runs alongside our curriculum lessons where we teach our children about Internet safety. We understand that at school, our filtering systems and monitoring software work hard to protect our children, but we also understand the importance of educating them about how to react to the ‘dangers’ of the Internet when they are away from our controlled network (at home, at a friend’s etc.) and what they can do if they feel at risk.

As technology and the Internet are almost constantly evolving, we will do our best to ensure that children at Fibbersley Park are always aware of how they themselves can do the most possible to protect themselves when using the Internet.
