What people say
I found the meeting very interesting and got loads of information that is useful and that I could act upon. In my opinion, all parents should be aware of the possible risks that children might experience using technology, not just parents of children with special needs, who are very vulnerable. I would like to thank you.
The training was excellent. An extremely sensitive subject dealt with professionally and in a way which made everyone feel comfortable. Lots to implement when I get back to school. I would thoroughly recommend this session.
The presentation to parents was excellent. It struck the right balance between shock, reality and support. The parents of our pupils provided overwhelmingly positive feedback and we will be inviting [the Digital Safeguarding team] back to do further work in supporting our school to protect our pupils in their online endeavours.
[The Digital Safeguarding service] has been an invaluable support for the teaching and progression of online safety within our primary setting. From policies and practices to delivery of lessons and messages to pupils, [the service] has helped to guide us through the process of addressing online behaviour as an ongoing message throughout school, embedding it throughout the curriculum. As the lead for online safety in school, it has been so helpful for me, supporting my leadership role and providing reassurance wherever required.
