The Headteacher and Governing Body of Ashford CE Primary School take their responsibilities for safeguarding pupils very seriously. We have a duty of care for child protection and we also strive to help parents to keep their own children safe and free from exploitation. This responsibility is set out in our Safeguarding Children Policy and is displayed on the policy page.
The NSPCC Underwear Rule is a simple way that parents can help keep children safe from exploitation. Teach your child the Underwear Rule and help protect them from exploitation. The NSPCC guide for parents and a child friendly version to help you talk PANTS with your child are available below.
^ TopIn today’s society, children, young people and adults interact with technologies such as mobile phones, games consoles and the Internet on a daily basis and experience a wide range of opportunities, attitudes and situations. The exchange of ideas, social interaction and learning opportunities involved are greatly beneficial to all, but can occasionally place children, young people and adults in danger.
e-Safety covers issues relating to children and young people as well as adults and their safe use of the Internet, mobile phones and other electronic communications technologies, both in and out of school.
