An Assessor from the South West Grid for Learning recently visited St Clare’s Abbey Primary School to review the school’s online safety provision. The Assessor met school staff, parents and carers, Governors and pupils/students and was pleased to find that the school provides a high level of protection for users of the new technologies.
The South West Grid for Learning Trust provides a range of online/digital technology services to schools across the UK and is in the forefront of national and international developments in online safety. To enhance these services, SWGfL has developed the 360 degree safe self-review tool to help schools address online safety issues. The online tool allows schools to evaluate their online safety policy and practice and then suggests how the school might do more to protect young people and staff.
Ron Richards, Lead Assessor for the 360 degree safe Online Safety Mark congratulated the school on its success and commented that it was re-assuring to know that the school had put a lot of thought and effort into improving the on-line safety of the staff and young people, by addressing these important safeguarding issues.
