Online Safety – Parent Information & Survey In June last year, we surveyed parents to understand how confident they felt in supporting their children to stay safe online. Since then, we designed and shared a new webpage to support students and parents and gave a number of presentations at parents evenings to support with this. We are asking parents to complete a complementary survey this year to assess what further help needs to be provided. Thanks in advance for your support with this.
