Online Safety And Abuse Reporting

Here at Teynham Community Pre-school we embrace all aspects of learning at all age groups. The pace of change in modern technological advances is great and it can be difficult both as parents and as care providers to keep up with it.  We ensure all staff are trained on new aspects of online safety and aim to communicate this as much as possible to parents. We know that many won't know what to look for or, when at home, will know where to find relevant information in the event a concern arises.  We have put together some useful pages and hope you will share with your children as we educate them to use technology safely.  They will also be a useful reference point should the need to find such information quickly occurs.

All staff take part in online safety training provided by the Kent Local Safeguarding team. We learnt all about how to keep our children safe in the setting when online and how important it is to educate the children from a young age about how to stay safe online just like we do with stranger danger and road safety etc. Please find some links below to some clips that will help educate you on online safety and its importance.

 REPORT ONLINE ABUSE WITH CEOP

If you, your child or even someone you know have received abusive or distressing messages or images online, they can be reported by clicking the image to the left. If there is imminent danger, dial 999 immediately. Ceop, created by the National Crime Agency, helps children to stay safe online. If someone has acted inappropriately towards you online, or to a child or young person you know (this includes being asked to do something that makes you feel uncomfortable or an insistence on meeting up) then report it.

REPORT ALL CONCERNS WITH CHILDLINE

Online abuse or concerns can also be raised with Childline if a child is distressed about what he or she has seen or been contacted about. Childline also covers all other problems a child might face so, if they feel they cannot talk to a parent or teacher, then call 0800 1111
