At My Oasis, safeguarding is central to everything we do including online safety. The internet offers fantastic opportunities for learning and connection, but it can also expose young people to risks such as inappropriate content, online bullying, grooming, scams and exploitation.
We work with our students to build digital resilience, safe online behaviours and confidence in reporting concerns. We value strong partnerships with parents and carers to reinforce this at home.
If you have concerns about your child’s online safety, please contact the school and ask to speak to the Designated Safeguarding Lead.
