SAFEGUARDING SUPPORT AND SIGNPOSTING

Please find below useful information, signposting you to support and raising awareness of current safeguarding topics. It is key to remember that safeguarding children is everyone’s responsibility.

Safer Internet Day – 7th February 2023 – Safer Internet Day 2023 will take place on the 7th of February 2023, with celebrations and learning based around the theme ‘Want to talk about it? Making space for conversations about life online.

Parent Zone link – It is likely that our young people will be spending additional time online to communicate, socialise and play and it is vital that they are able to keep themselves safe online. Parent Zone are the experts in digital family life.

​The Dangers of Gasha Studio – The NSPCC and the Police have recently shared concerns with us about a game called Gasha Studio (Anime dress up). During the game, users can choose avatars and create scenarios. Recently, a parent found a concerning screenshot on her child’s phone, which depicted a small female child character – she had labelled her ‘abused child’ – and a featureless adult labelled ‘abuser’. They appear to be in a dungeon of some kind, and the adult is holding an unknown object. The most recent reviews refer to content that includes references to child abuse, suicide, bullying and murder. Parents to be vigilant please.

STREP A

You may be aware from the media that there is a national increase in cases of Strep A and Scarlet Fever and we have received information from the Department of Health, which is attached for your information.  This details signs of symptoms of Scarlet Fever and Invasive Strep A (IGAS).  There are also links below which provide further information.

We would like to ask parents to support us in preventing the spread of viruses by reminding their child to maintain good hygiene practices including:

  • washing hands with soap and water often – do this for at least 20 seconds
  • use hand sanitiser gel if soap & water are not available
  • wash your hands as soon as you get home
  • cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when you cough or sneeze
  • put used tissues in the bin immediately & wash your hands afterwards

Tech4Families

This is a programme run by the Digital Poverty Alliance  ( DPA) in conjunction with Curry’s Ltd. It works like this:-

  • When customers spend money with Curry’s they are asked if they would like to “round up* the amount, with the extra going to this charity.
  • The Charity pays for laptops for young people (up to 16yrs.) whose families can’t afford to buy a computer of any sort.
  • The laptop comes with programmes etc. ready to use and tech back up form Curry’s.

There is a very simple application form which would only take a few minutes to complete. It needs to be “verified” by a responsible person who must know the child in a professional capacity such as teacher, librarian, social worker, or accredited money adviser. The paper form is then posted to DPA who make the decision. There is no requirement to “make the case”.

There is no further involvement or input to the process and there is NO guarantee that an application will be successful and NO appeal.

For more information go to  https://digitalpovertyalliance.org/tech4families/

Curry’s were surprised at how many people were contributing and could already be giving away about 100 per week. Staffordshire is one of only a handful of areas benefiting from this programme at the moment”.

Covid 19 - Latest update

Covid 19 /The latest advice from the Department of Education:

“Face coverings help to protect the wearer and others against the spread of infection

because they cover the nose and mouth, which are the main confirmed sources of
transmission of COVID-19.
 
Where pupils in year 7 and above are educated, we recommend that face coverings should be worn by pupils,
students, staff and adult visitors when moving around the premises, outside of
classrooms, such as in corridors and communal areas. This is a temporary measure.
 
Pupils and students in these settings should also wear a face covering when travelling on
public transport and dedicated transport to and from school or college. 
 
We do not recommend that pupils, students and staff wear face coverings in classrooms.
 
Face coverings do not need to be worn when outdoors.
 
No pupil or student should be denied education on the grounds that they are not wearing

a face covering”

 
In light of the guidance, we would ask that parents/carers encourage their son/daughter to wear a face covering when in the school corridors and communal areas. We would also recommend that you continue with the lateral flow testing weekly at home. We have an available supply of lateral flow tests and face masks at school.
