All staff have regular safeguarding training to ensure that pupils can always find someone to talk to when the need arises.

Pupils, staff and governors all sign an acceptable use policy which outlines responsibility for their online activity. All pupils and staff are aware of the reporting process for any thing that may be worrying them. Parents in the Senior Phase receive regular safeguarding emails providing information about new mobile phone apps / internet games which may be of concern.
