Keeping you safe

Here are some great resources to start your journey to becoming a confident and safe user of the wild, whacky and weird place called the Internet.
If you have a serious concern about someone’s behaviour on the Internet, contact CEOP.
If you believe someone is at risk of imminent serious harm, contact the police.
Remember, if you have an e-Safety concern, you don’t have to find a special member of staff – all staff in college can help.

Report something that worries you

Report a concern to CEOP (If you’re concerned about a child online)
Report Terrorist and Harmful Extremist Material Online (Report radicalisation content or behaviour)
Contact ANY member of staff in college. All College staff members are trained to help you.
Contact a friend or family member that you trust.
