Safeguarding is the action that is taken by our dedicated staff to promote the welfare of our pupils and protect them from harm.

This responsibility includes:

- Protecting children from abuse and maltreatment

- Preventing harm to children's health or development

- Ensuring children grow with the provision of safe and effective care

- Taking action to enable all children and young people to have the best outcomes.

At Gorsemoor Primary School we are committed to safeguarding our pupils and everyone who works with our pupils shares this passion.

Internet Safety

Children often will spend a long time on the internet. They may go online to play games, chat with friends and family, or on to research information for homework or their own interests. They can find a wide range of information on the internet and it is a great place to learn about new things.

However, it can also be a dangerous place so it is important that children are protected by Parental Controls and are monitored when they are on line. A useful website can be found at: www.bt.com/help/security/parental-controls
