We are delighted to introduce parents and carers to our Online Safety Hub - Cockermouth School which is presented through a partnership between Smoothwall and Cockermouth school.
Supporting the wellbeing of our children is a key priority and we are focused on ensuring our students protection from online harm.
The wellbeing of children can be heavily influenced by their digital experiences. A child’s online activity, including what they view, who they interact with, and what they share can contribute to a deeply positive outcome or pose a threat to their wellbeing.
Therefore, we are keen to ensure that children get all the best experiences that technology can offer and that parents and carers have the support to develop the skills and knowledge needed to support their children’s digital journeys.
Developed by a team of world-renowned Online Safety Experts, the Hub is designed to engage and align our school community on online safety and wellness by providing up-to-date and evidence-based information to parents and carers.
If you visit the Online Safety Hub you will find a rich library of helpful resources, including app reviews, how-to guides and advice on an array of online safety topics.
The platform brings together the insights of the world's most respected online safety experts. Each of the experts is a leader in the field, offering rich expertise in the fields of psychology, teaching, governance, law enforcement and digital wellness.
After half term we will be posting weekly updates , with reminders about how you can access the Hub and some information about the specific opportunities that are available via the platform. We would encourage everyone in our school community to keep an eye out for these posts and to take advantage of all the platform has to offer.
