Just a little post to tell you all about our commitment to working with West Lothian Council and other agencies to keep your child safe online. As you will be aware , our school blog is our main avenue for sharing your child’s learning with you. We take the safety of our pupils very seriously online and as a result of this we shall try not to post a child’s image with their name beside it. This policy is in line with both West Lothian Council and the NSPCC guidelines. Where we do post a child’s name, there will be no image of the child within the vicinity.
We continue to teach our children about staying safe and being a responsible user online through our on-going classroom work, assemblies and in our Internet Safety week which runs in Term 4. All children signed a ‘Safe User’ policy which was sent home last session to ensure that they understood rules around the use of the Internet.
Digital technologies continue to play a massive part of all of our lives and will be increasingly important in the lives of our children. We will continue to work with you and all of our partners to ensure that our children can make the best use of technologies whilst being protected online.
Please let us know of any queries or concerns around our use of the Internet or ICT.
We do want to get it right for everyone!
Kind wishes,
Miss Baillie x
