At RGS we are constantly reviewing the ways that we communicate messages to students and parents and we have decided to broaden the scope of the blog to cover issues with regard to safeguarding and well being. While we will retain the esafety message within this blog you will also begin to see a range of posts and advice relating to broader issues with regard to student well being.
We will also be communicating information directly to students via the new safeguarding email account that can then be targeted toward particular needs swiftly and efficiently.

Privacy and the internet
While parental control settings are a valuable resource in ensuring that web based content is directed toward the appropriate age range. We have often discussed on this blog that control software should not replace conversations that all families should have with regard to internet safety. You may like as a family to explore the notion that nothing is private on the internet and that we should adjust our use of the internet with regard to personal content accordingly.
The internet is a public space and there is a growing realisation that nothing is guaranteed private on the internet and if you do make a mistake online talk to someone. That could be someone at home, your mentor, head of house or any member of staff at school. If you believe that someone is behaving online towards you in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, again please report it either by speaking to someone or using the CEOP button and or RGS Whisper.
Think you know has lots of really useful information select the age range that suits you.
