“Congratulations to everyone at Landmark on becoming a National Online Safety Certified School. By completing our training programme, the school has shown its strong commitment to implementing an effective whole school approach to online safety.
It can be increasingly difficult for schools and parents to stay ahead of online threats and ensure both children and staff are safeguarded from potentially harmful and inappropriate online material. We arm schools with the knowledge they need to understand online dangers and react in the best way possible to any problems.”
Penny Roche, Designated Safeguarding Lead at Landmark, said:
“We live in a world where we increasingly interact and learn online, and as educators we have a responsibility to provide students with the necessary tools to enjoy the many benefits of the internet, while being aware of the dangers they might encounter. Like any environment, knowing how to keep safe is an integral part of travelling through the terrain.
At Landmark, we recognise that the online world changes at a rapid pace, and so keeping our training up to date through National Online Safety is an excellent way to be aware of new developments, and to make sure that our curriculum is relevant.”
