Online Safety

TikTok Parent Factsheet

The educational and social benefits for children in using the internet should be promoted, but this should be balanced against the need to safeguard children against the inherent risks from internet technology. It’s important for schools to teach students how to keep themselves safe whilst on-line.

All members of the Parliament Hill School community sign an Acceptable Use Agreement.

Students and staff sign this annually.  Parents sign this at the admissions interview when their daughter joins our school community.

A copy of the student Acceptable Use policy can be found on page 38 of the school's online policy. 

The school’s online safety policy can be found here. 

 

The office of the Children’s Commissioner has produced a parent guide for talking to your child about online sexual harassment. It can be found here.
