West House School Takes Online Safety Seriously

Supporting the wellbeing of children has never been more important than it is today. As young people spend increasing amounts of time online, their digital experiences play a crucial role in shaping their wellbeing. From the content they view to the interactions they have, the internet can be a powerful tool for learning and connection but it also comes with risks.

At West House School, we are committed to ensuring that our pupils benefit from all the positives that technology has to offer while staying safe from online harms. We recognize that safeguarding children in the digital world is a shared responsibility between parents, teachers, and the wider community. That’s why our Head of Safeguarding, Mrs. Paula Cusack, has been working hard to compile a range of valuable resources to help guide and support families in navigating the complexities of online safety.

Through education, awareness, and access to the right tools, we can all play a role in equipping children with the skills and knowledge they need for a safe and positive online experience. Whether you are looking for advice on parental controls, guidance on managing screen time, or information on protecting children from online risks, we are here to help.
