National Online Safety Safe Remote Education Accreditation
We are proud to announce that we have now received a National Online Safety Safe Remote Education Accreditation for our successful approach towards safeguarding children and supporting pupil wellbeing during remote teaching and learning. Staff completed a comprehensive training course around safe remote teaching and wellbeing.
National Online Safety is an award winning digital training provider with extensive resources in online safety, developed in line with the Department of Education’s statutory requirements.
Its CPD accredited courses and educational resources support UK schools in educating the whole school community in online safety– including all school staff, senior leaders, teachers and parents – on how to make the internet a safer place for children. As a school we have already shown our dedication to online safety, by becoming a National online Safety Certified School in February 2021.
James Southworth, co-founder at National Online Safety, said:
Congratulations to everyone at Valley Park School on achieving their National Online Safety Safe Remote Education Accreditation. By completing our training programme, the school has shown its strong commitment to implementing the most effective approach to delivering remote education.
“It can be increasingly difficult for schools to keep up with DfE expectations surrounding remote education to ensure both children and staff follow the necessary safeguarding protocols and know how to spot any potential wellbeing issues. We’ve armed schools with the knowledge they need to understand their responsibilities and how best to react to any problems.”
Mrs Read, Head of Computer Science, said:
It’s a great achievement for us and we’re very proud to show our commitment to delivering high quality and safe remote education.
