Online Safety
Online Safety at Woodfield School
At Woodfield School, we are committed to promoting online safety and ensuring that all pupils are supported to use technology safely, responsibly and confidently.
As a special school catering for pupils aged 3–19 with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), we recognise the importance of providing online safety education that is accessible, age-appropriate and tailored to each pupil's individual needs and understanding.
Online safety forms an important part of our safeguarding responsibilities. We work closely with parents and carers to help pupils recognise online risks, protect their personal information, develop positive digital behaviours and know where to seek support.
