Online Safety

Online Safety is a vital part of safeguarding at William Levick. Children have access to a wonderful and extensive range of information, communication, entertainment and learning online. However, the online world is rapidly changing and as such, we need to keep up! At William Levick we aim to reflect this in our e-safety teaching and learning, updating our teaching curriculum and the resources available to pupils and parents, to help keep our children safe in their online worlds. An overview of our e-safety scheme of work can be found here.

We have a team of iVengers from Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 who prepare and share resources and advice to our school community throughout the school year. To find out more about iVengers, please use this link.

A really useful app for parents, full of information and advice to use at home, is the National Online Safety App which can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or the Play Store. This is free to parents and has the very latest, and continually updated, online safety advice and information about apps, games and devices.
