Staying Safe

At Cross Keys Learning we are committed to keeping you safe

As well as your family, you can always talk to an adult at school about anything that is worrying or upsetting you.

At Cross Keys Learning Mark, Sharon, Steve, Marc and Jay are the adults who staff go to for advice or support when they are worried about something.

There are lots of trusted adults in school, such as your teachers, TA’s or any other staff that you feel comfortable talking to and if they feel that what you have said might cause you or anyone else harm, they will have to tell one of the DSL’s (Designated Safeguarding Leads) who will make sure that you are safe and that no further harm comes to you.

Online Safety

5 ways to get support if things go wrong online:

1. Talk to someone you trust like an adult, or you can always talk to a Childline counsellor
2. Report bullying and abuse directly to the website or app
3. Delete things you’ve shared that you’re worried about, but be sure to let an adult know
4. Tell the police by making a report to CEOP if someone is threatening or blackmailing you (Click link below).
5. Plan for the future and change your privacy settings so it doesn’t happen again
