Child Line & Speak Out, Stay Safe

We recently welcomed a visitor from the NSPCC into school to lead assemblies for all of our children, followed by hour long workshops for Years 5 & 6.  This links perfectly with our Taking Care curriculum focusing on developing Protective Behaviours in our children.
There are free downloadable resources on the NSPCC website for teaching staff and parents/carers. The teaching resources and lesson plans have been approved by the PSHE Association and can be found by clicking on the link below:
.


https://www.nspcc.org.uk

These include the ‘Underwear Rule’ and ‘Share Aware’ resources.
​
The link below provides access to further age appropriate resources that you can share with your child to explore aspects of internet safety and how to stay safe online.

Safer Internet Access for children
We are aware that some parents are not particularly confident in knowing how to ensure that the appropriate 'child safe' settings to IT equipment, such as ipads, that their children may be using.  This is absolutely key in ensuring safe access to the internet.
The link below provides access to advice on how to do this and details of a telephone helpline that you can use if needed.

Road Safety
Footsteps is Oxfordshire County Council’s child pedestrian road safety scheme.  Please access below, an information leaflet developed for  parents and families as they are the best people to teach their children the skills needed for road safety.
 
The aim of Footsteps is for children to learn to take responsibility and make decisions under the supervision of an adult.  Footsteps enables parents and carers to gradually teach their child according to age and ability until each child is able to become independent.  Parents are encouraged to ask lots of open questions and discuss road safety skills which they may not have thought about.  Please click on the icon below to view their latest information leaflet or follow this link to take a look at their website
