Online Safety Information

At Chiddingstone School we are committed to providing you with up to date information on how to keep safe online. We believe that online safety is an essential part of safeguarding and in partnership with parents, we have a duty to ensure that all pupils are protected from potential harm online.

We recognise that the internet and associated devices, such as computers, tablets, mobile phones and games consoles are an important part of everyday life. We believe that learners should be empowered to build resilience and to develop strategies to manage and respond to risk online. Our online safety policy is part of our Child Protection Policy

As always, if you have any concerns about something which affects your child or someone else at Chiddingstone School, then please contact our designated safeguarding team.
