Inset Days
Our specialist staff offer a one-day course in online safety and an introduction to social media. It’s specially constructed to meet the needs of teachers, staff, parents and governors.
We outline a whole school approach to online safety and social media: its use, abuse and consequences. It is designed with inspection in mind, to reflect good and outstanding practice requirements. This one-day course is constructed to meet the needs of teachers, staff, parents and governors. It provides them with an overview of key contemporary issues relevant to their school, its workforce, students and parents. The day consists of three sessions with an optional fourth element for parents and/or governors. Key aspects of each session involve interactive engagement to help participants test and develop their existing knowledge. The child protection sessions help them identify indicators related to access to inappropriate material, risky behaviour, child sexual exploitation, grooming and bullying in the context of their children’s online and offline lives.
“This was a wonderful staff training day which engaged the whole staff, informed and energised them and inspired us all.”
