If this is not possible or the school is closed, then please email the most appropriate member of staff listed below.

This is likely to be your child’s HOH or a safeguarding officer. Please note, these members of staff will be able to respond to emails during normal school hours.

Online Safety
Online safety is an increasing issue in the life of today's teenagers and it is important that parents know what apps and websites their child is accessing in order to keep them safe online.
Teenagers do not always see the harm in communicating with people they do not know online and can be coerced into sharing sensitive information about themselves or nude images.
You can report a post on any of the platforms like snapchat, Tik Tok, Instagram, X or Facebook directly to the platform.
Grooming or other illegal behaviour
If you want to report someone who is behaving suspiciously online towards a child, you should contact 999 if it is an emergency situation, or otherwise make a report to CEOP, the Child Exploitation Online Protection Centre.
Criminal content online
If you see any criminal content online, you should report this to the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF). Criminal content in the UK includes child sexual abuse images, criminally obscene adult content, as well as non-photographic child sexual abuse images.
Young people under 18 can report nude images or videos of themselves which have been shared online to Childline.
Online content which incites hatred on the grounds of race, religion, disability and sexual orientation or transgender identity, should be reported to True Vision, which tackles all forms of hate crime. True Vision will give you information on content which indicates hatred and how to report it.
Media content inappropriate for children
If you want to make a complaint about an advert, television or radio programme, film, newspaper, magazine, video game or other type of content online of offline, that you think is unsuitable for children, then OFCOM provide information on how to do this.
Getting help/advice
Many popular online services have some really useful help and advice areas, as well as ways to report and block content that is not allowed on the site (eg cyberbullying). You can also set up parental controls and restrict in-app purchases.
