Reporting Online Concerns – CEOP
The NCA’s CEOP Command is here to help children and young people. They are here to help if you are a young person and you or your friend (up to age 18) has been forced or tricked into taking part in activity which makes you uncomfortable with anyone online, or in the real world. They also have advice and links to support for other online problems young people might face, such as cyberbullying and hacking.

Working with Outside Companies
In previous years we have shared our ‘Safer Internet Day’ activities with ‘One Day Creative’. We chose to be involved in Pirate and Spy themed workshops based on e-Safety. These focused on the importance of creating strong passwords, being responsible online and not sharing important information. Here are some of the highlights in pictures:
We also invited ‘One Day Creative’ into school to carry out a performance called ‘Level Up’ for both KS1 and KS2. The performance educated the children about the dangers of online gaming and how these dangers can be avoided. It also taught the children what they can do if they encounter any of the issues discussed and who they can go to for help. Please click on the link below to find out more information about the performance:
One Day Creative Level Up Performance
The children had both a fun and informative morning. Take a look at the pictures of the performance below:
We follow the SMART rules for using the Internet. Recently every child completed a ‘Support Web’ identifying who the children could turn to if they get an ‘uh-oh’ feeling in their tummy. They also enjoyed acting out scenarios of what can happen on the Internet and how to deal with this.
Altru Creative Education came to visit Mersey Park. The company performed an E-safety play for Key Stage 2. It was an extremely informative play which taught us all about the risks of using the Internet and the dangers of online use. The play helped us to consider ways that we can make our own Internet use safer.
