Our school policy:

Child protection matters. The team are advised to listen to children and report any concerns via our Care and Welfare process. A decision by the named persons/child protection coordinators will be made on how to proceed to support the child. Throughout we refer to the Fife guidance on child protection. Get in touch with either Lindsey Manton or Sharon Easton if you have any questions or concerns around child protection.
Report Remove
For a child or young person, having a sexual image or video of themselves shared online can be a distressing situation. This can be difficult for parents and carers too, but there are ways to help support children. If they’re under 18, they can use Report Remove. Report Remove is a tool that allows young people to confidentially report sexual images and videos of themselves and remove them from the internet. Provided by Childline and Internet Watch Foundation, it keeps the young person informed at each stage of their report and provides further support where necessary.
