Mulberry Academy Bexhill provides a safe environment to learn and work, including when online. Filtering and monitoring are both important parts of safeguarding pupils and staff from potentially harmful and inappropriate online material. Mulberry Academy Bexhill uses Smoothwall and Securus as filtering and monitoring systems and these reports are reviewed daily by the DSL.
Parental advice and weekly online safety newsletters are available.
Each week we will post articles of interest on this page that should help you and your child.
Children regularly use different websites and apps from their parents, and it can be hard to keep up in this ever-changing digital world. But the things that help keep children safe online are often similar to the things that keep them safe offline.
Encourage your child to think critically and question what they see online. Talk to them about where they go to get information they trust, talk about fake news, fake followers and scams. Help them develop a healthy suspicion of whether people are who they say they are.
