E-Safety

At St. Luke’s we take e-safety very seriously and want to help you and your families stay safe online. The ever expanding, online world is an integral part of society today; however there are also many risks associated with new technologies. We strongly believe that it is essential for young people and their parents/carers to understand how to reduce these risks and keep themselves safe.

Children across the school are made aware of the S.M.A.R.T rules:

The Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre is the UK’s national child protection agency (www.ceop.police.uk). Through the Click CEOP advice and help centre, anyone can access guidance on a broad range of topics to help protect their children or report a concern directly to CEOP.
