Online Safety
Online safety and safeguarding
Safeguarding your children is our main priority; our staff will continue to follow the same safeguarding
practices as they do when they are in school. If you are concerned about a child please contact
lpayne@vinehallschool.com who is our Designated Safeguarding Lead.
We have created a Remote Learning Policy and are asking all staff, parents and pupils to sign and
agree to how we will all be working online. This is to protect the children and works alongside the
online education they receive in school and the Acceptable Use Policy they have already signed. We
ask that these are read and agreed before the start of term.
Please ensure your children are using any devices/screens in communal places in your homes and not
in their bedrooms, especially when they are ‘FaceTiming’ or joining group video chats. Please do talk
to your children about who they are online with and ensure that they have the right settings on their
devices so that only people who are known to them can speak to them on these chats
Our Vinehall website has a link to Parentzone which gives a wealth of information about screen time
balance, parent controls and wellbeing: https://www.vinehallschool.com/wellbeing/
We also recommend Net Aware which gives helpful advice on apps and social platforms such as
HouseParty/Zoom/TikTok which all carry age restrictions: https://www.net-aware.org.uk/
