E-Safety
Filtering and Monitoring
The school has systems in place for filtering and monitoring.
The school’s broadband service provides a web filtering service – RM SafetyNet. This will block internet traffic based on website categorisation and key words. When an attempt is made to access a website that is restricted, a webpage informing the user that it is blocked is displayed.
Remote monitoring does not filter the content pupils can see, but it allows staff to monitor what they access and how they access it in real-time. The monitoring system is used as an additional layer to safeguard pupils from inappropriate and harmful content that can be found on the internet.

Reporting to CEOP
Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) helps any child or young person under the age of 18 who is being pressured, forced or tricked into taking part in activity related to child exploitation of any kind. This can be something that has taken place either online or in ‘the real world’, or both. The CEOP Safety Centre has clear information and advice on what can be reported to CEOP, the reporting process and what will happen if you do decide to make a report. You can visit the CEOP Safety Centre and make a report directly to CEOP by clicking the Click CEOP button.
If your child is experiencing online bullying or something else online has worried them, they should speak to an adult they trust. Alternatively, they can talk to Childline at any time on 0800 1111, or at www.childline.org.uk.
