E-Safety

As technology becomes an essential part of our daily lives and a vital tool in education, it is increasingly important to learn how to keep ourselves safe and to ensure that we have the tools and understanding to get the most out of using the internet, whilst avoiding all potential risks. We encourage learners to use all available technologies when completing training with us, but in doing so we want you to feel safe and free from harm. We must also be mindful of the challenges we could face when exposed to the technologies and the material they can produce including the following

Exposure to inappropriate material
 Cyber-bullying via websites, mobile phones or other technologies
 Identity theft or the invasion of privacy
 Downloading copyrighted materials
 Exposure to inappropriate advertising online gambling and financial scams
 Safeguarding issues such as grooming (particularly vulnerable adults)
 Other illegal activities

Please contact your tutor or head office (01677 470900) should you have any concerns with E-Safety, as it is important that we deal with any incidents swiftly and appropriately.
