The Dukeries Academy uses technology extensively across all areas of the curriculum. Online safeguarding (e-safety) is an area that is constantly evolving. We have duty of care to ensure that all our pupils are competent, informed, safe users of ICT and web based resources. Understanding e-safety online is a life skill and empowering children from an early age to safeguard themselves and their personal information should be nurtured throughout their education to see them into adult life. We are committed to supporting teachers and parents to understand what safe internet use means, to identify and prevent potential risks, and identify risky behaviour.

The NCA’s CEOP Command is here to help children and young people. They are there to help if you are a young person and you or your friend (up to age 18) has been forced or tricked into taking part in sexual activity with anyone online, or in the real world. They also have advice and links to support for other online problems young people might face, such as cyberbullying and hacking.
