E-Safety and Digital Citizenship
Internet safety or "e safety" is a fundamental topic and an important part of keeping children safe at GEMS Cambridge International Private School. We have extensive security measures in place around the school, which are monitored both internally and externally to help safeguard pupils from potential dangers or unsuitable material. All online incidents are recorded and managed appropriately. Online Safety and Digital Citizenship are taught to all pupils, explaining and demonstrating how to stay safe and behave appropriately online.
We work with parents to ensure the E-Safety and Digital Citizenship message is consistent. It is important that parents speak to their children about how they can keep safe and behave appropriately online.
