Safer Schools England provides contemporary online safety guidance, innovative school communication tools, and relevant safeguarding resources. It ensures that age-appropriate support and signposting to help is readily available in your pocket, when and where you need it.
Designed for entire school communities, this customisable School App educates and empowers all users to make safer decisions online and offline.
Developed in partnership with leading insurance provider Zurich Municipal and INEQE Safeguarding Group, the App forms part of a unique Digital Safeguarding Ecosystem.
Safer Schools is available at no additional cost for schools and local authorities who hold their full package of insurance with Zurich Municipal.
To find out if your school or local authority is eligible for Safer Schools or to register, visit www.oursaferschools.co.uk.
HOW IT WORKS?
App users are categorised into ‘roles’ depending on their position within the school community e.g., Safeguarding Lead, Staff, Parents & Carers or Pupils. Each user role is provided with a specific QR, and four-digit entry code supplied by the school, local authority, or multi-academy trust (upon organisation registration) to gain access to the App.
ONLINE SAFETY GUIDANCE AND RESOURCES
- The App contains extensive age-appropriate guidance, resources, and advice on a wide variety of topics that include health & wellbeing, social media, and gaming. Each topic includes quick quizzes and digital tests to evidence and further reaffirm learning.
- For school staff, CPD certified training courses are available to take directly within the App. Topics include Safeguarding Level 1, Mental Health Awareness, and Appropriate Use of Social Media.
- Daily safeguarding news delivered directly to the App for all school staff.
- Access to a weekly round-up news podcast and safeguarding alerts delivered to staff, parents, and carers.
- Teachers receive access to the Teach Hub, a dedicated library of downloadable resources, created by teachers for teachers for use in the school curriculum.
- Parents and Carers receive access to the Home Learning Hub, the Teach Hub’s counterpart, that ensures safeguarding education doesn’t stop at the school gates!
- All users have direct access to the ‘Online Safety Centre’ through their App or on desktop browser that explains how to set parental controls, block, mute, report, and much more, all divided by popular platforms and operating systems.
