Safer Internet Day and Behaviour Questionnaires8 February 2022 (by admin) |
Good Afternoon All
Behaviour Questionnaire:
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to complete the questionnaire. Please find the link below if you would like to respond. It really helps the School in developing our policy and practice further.
It is also available on the behaviour section of our website if your device does not support the link. Could I please have all responses by this Friday please.
Safer Internet Day 2022:
Today was Safer Internet Day and the children have been sharing what they enjoy doing online and also looking at how to keep safe and look after one another. Please have a chat with them to find out more and have a look together at what they are enjoying.
Please see below information and links to a letter with lots of good advice and signposting for keeping your child safe. If your device does not support the link you can find it on our website: Internet Safety/Parents
Information from Cumbria Police:
From gaming and chat, to streaming and video, young people are shaping the interactive entertainment spaces they are a part of. Safer Internet Day 2022 celebrates young people’s role in creating a safer internet, whether that is whilst gaming and creating content, or interacting with their friends and peers.
Speaking with young people is key to exploring their experiences on platforms where they can play games, interact with their peers and others, and take part in ‘live’ experiences such as video streaming. These platforms play such an important and positive role, providing young people with the means to interact with friends and as a great pastime, particularly during lockdowns.
However, there are some emerging safety issues in these spaces as well as issues young people have been navigating for some time; particularly the lack of respect individuals display towards each other, groups ‘ganging up’ against other groups, and the sense that it is easy to ‘get away’ with negative behaviour such as meanness, bullying and swearing. They tell us the apparent lack of consequences for negative behaviour has an impact on their safety and wellbeing.
It is therefore key that parents and carers understand the safety issues at hand and how to protect their young people from harm.
Thanks everyone and keep going with the Street Tags, Frizington is AMAZING!
