Whole-school safeguarding resources for headteachers, DSLs, and governors. Policies, training, parent communication, and compliance guidance.
Schools have a statutory duty to safeguard children, and online safety is now firmly embedded within that responsibility. This guide supports senior leaders, designated safeguarding leads, and governors with practical resources to strengthen your school's approach. From policy templates to parent communication tools, everything here is designed to be used immediately.
Ofsted inspections now explicitly assess how well schools protect children from online risks. Beyond compliance, a robust whole-school approach to online safety creates a culture where pupils feel safe to report concerns, staff feel confident to act, and parents feel engaged. Getting this right protects children and protects your school.
