Health & Wellbeing in Integrated Learning Communities

The E-Safety Steering Group in Highland is pushing ahead to take things forward in an integrated approach. One of our moves is to try to ensure that Highland Council sites incorporate the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) ‘report abuse’ widget. We’ve now started the ball rolling by embedding the links in our Highland Youth Voice website

In order to do this, an agreement document between the authority and CEOP has to be signed and they do request a screen shot to add to their own files. The process isn’t complicated and it can help authorities to safeguard children and young people.  Any authority can contact the education team at CEOP to request the details.

We will push forward to ensure that schools in Highland who have their own websites and blogs are encouraged to incorporate a link to the Think You Know site, so pupils, parents and staff can access information on how to be safer in the online world. This is just one facet of the work that’s developing, if you want to know more please contact Jim or me.

Ever wondered why social networking is sooo popular with young people? Vanessa Van Petten here has made a little video to tell us oldies why. Someone of which is good info for anyone developing internet safety work. Thanks to my colleague Jim for this one.
