E-Safety
Endeavour Academy recognises that the Internet, and access to it via a range of technologies, is an attractive and increasingly integral feature of student’s learning and entertainment.
The Academy recognizes too, that in enabling access to this invaluable resource it has a duty to ensure the students are:
- Safe from inappropriate content in a range of forms and across technologies
- Safe from bullying and harassment of any kind
- Safe from crime and anti-social behaviour in and out of the Academy
- Safe from radicalisation
- Safe from grooming
- Secure, stable and cared for while online
It is the duty of the Academy to ensure that every student in their care is safe, and that the same safeguarding principles should apply to the ‘virtual’ or digital world as would be applied to the Academy’s physical buildings.
We are happy to give guidance to parents and carers on internet filtering and parental controls. We also use many resources that parents and carers may find useful.
The full list of resources and further guidance is found in our E-Safety Policy.
