Online Safety
At Anglo European School, we recognise that technology plays an important role in young people's lives. We are committed to helping all students use technology safely, responsibly and positively.
Online safety is an integral part of our safeguarding culture. We educate students about the benefits and risks of the online world through our curriculum, assemblies and pastoral support. This includes learning about:
- Cyberbullying and online harassment
- Social media and digital wellbeing
- Privacy, consent and sharing information online
- Online grooming and exploitation
- Misinformation and fake news
- Harmful and inappropriate content
- Artificial intelligence (AI), deepfakes and image-based abuse
- Healthy and respectful online relationships
We work closely with parents and carers to promote safe online behaviour and encourage regular conversations about online activity at home.
If a student is worried about something they have seen online, or if they feel unsafe, they should speak to a trusted adult, their Form Tutor, Year Leader or a member of the safeguarding team immediately.
The school uses appropriate filtering and monitoring systems to help keep students safe when using the school's network and devices. These systems form part of our wider safeguarding arrangements and are regularly reviewed.
