The sudden enforced use of computer-based learning is a wonderful chance for education to develop and embrace everything the internet and computing have to offer. Even with these wonderful educational innovations at hand, we need to remain mindful of the pitfalls of working remotely and, of course, online.
Online safety or online concerns all come under safeguarding and should be reported to Mr Ashcroft and, in his capacity as Designated Safeguarding Lead, he will manage all cases including online bullying.
