Online Safety

Student safety is our main concern. If you have any issues with regards to your children's safety or that of others please talk to someone. You can always speak to any member of staff, your child's year office staff (or a different year office if you feel more comfortable), Mr Wadsworth or Mrs Williamson. Students at Shelley College are taught to be responsible Internet users and are guided to the Government reporting system for inappropriate content.

This logo below appears on many responsible social networking websites that children use. They, and you can use it to report abuse, get advice or help.

Online Bullying:
Bullying is bullying regardless of whether it is face to face, or online and it is always unacceptable. If you think your child is being bullied either online or in person you can always speak to a member of the College staff, your child's year office, or Mrs Williamson or Mr Wadsworth.

You can speak to a trained mentor outside College by visiting Cyber Mentors

Social Networking Sites:
The major social networking sites have access to Safety Centres or areas where you can report inappropriate content, abuse, bullying or something you just don't like. These are linked below (however these won't work within the College as they are blocked):
