Online Safety
CEOP is a command of the National Crime Agency and is dedicated to tackling the sexual abuse and exploitation of children and young people. CEOP helps children and young people under the age of 18 who have been forced or manipulated into taking part, or are being pressured to take part, in sexual activity of any kind. This can be both online and offline. The CEOP Safety Centre offers information and advice for children and young people, parents and carers and professionals. You can visit the CEOP Safety Centre and make a report directly to CEOP by clicking the Click CEOP button.
Online bullying or other online concerns should not be reported to CEOP and children and young people should be directed to speak to an adult they trust, and/or referred to Childline, if they would like to speak to someone about how they are feeling.
At St. Luke's we take our responsibility to safeguard children really seriously. Many children nowadays enjoy spending time on-line, and we recognise what a real challenge it is for parents to enable them to do in a way that is safe.
Here are some websites, tools and advice to help you keep your child safe.

The Department for Education has commissioned the NSPCC to launch a new helpline called Report Abuse in Education
The helpline comes after numerous anonymised testimonials of sexual harassment and abuse in schools and colleges were shared to the Everyone’s Invited website.
This new helpline will also offer support and guidance to adults and professionals working with children in education​
Young people and adults can contact Report Abuse in Education on 0800 136 663 or email help@nspcc.org.uk
The newly launched helpline will provide support to:
-
children and young people who want to share current and non-recent experiences of sexual abuse and harassment
-
children and young people who want to talk about being involved in or witnessing any incidents
-
anyone who works or volunteers in a school setting and needs support and guidance
-
adults who have experienced non-recent abuse
-
parents and carers who are concerned about their own child or other children.

Parent Portal (with LGfL)
​
LGfL (London Grid for Learning) provide the internet, email and web filtering in our school as well as high quality curriculum resources. They have created a 'Parent Portal' with information and resources to support parents.
If you wish to access any of the children or parent resources from home and you are off-grid i.e. using your home broadband, you will need to know your USO credentials to log in to the premium resources (BusyThings and J2e):
parents.lgfl.net
Once you are logged in, you will gain access to the aforementioned LGfL premium hosted resources.
​
If you are unsure of your child(ren)’s USO please enquire at your school (where they will be able to provide you with your child(ren)’s USO and password; please remind your child(ren) about the importance of keeping their passwords private i.e. only sharing with you as their parent/carer).
Here are some further links to enable you to support your child in having safe internet use:
