E-safety

MIS takes the safety of its students extremely seriously and we pride ourselves to ensure that
every pupil in our care is safe at all times. The digital world is a huge part of people’s life, IT and
online communications can provide beneficial, valuable support for learning, opportunities and
education, however at times the internet may pose a significant risk to young people.

how to limit them; these risks may include but are not limited to:

Bullying
Fraud
Grooming
Stalking
Abusive behaviors

and during school assemblies.
