TALK checklist to help keep your child safe online (Internet Watch Foundation) Follow the TALK checklist to help keep your child safe online (Internet Watch Foundation) The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) tells us that ‘since the start of the pandemic, the amount of ‘self-generated’ child abuse imagery has increased dramatically. In 2020, the IWF confirmed 68,000 cases of such imagery, a rise of 77% on the year before. It accounts for nearly half (44%) the imagery we took action on last year. In 80% of these cases, the victims were 11- to 13-year-old girls.’ The IWF has created a resource to help parents and carers understand the risks of ‘self-generated child sexual abuse imagery’ using the acronym ‘TALK’.

Year 11 Duke of Edinburgh update Dear parent/carer, Due to the unfortunate circumstances of the last 2 summer’s the current year 11 students have been unable to complete their expedition. This is obviously a very important year for them regarding their academic studies, therefore, I am suggesting that if they would like to complete their expedition they will have opportunity to do this during the summer term after their examinations. It will be a 2 day, 1 night expedition and dates will be confirmed over the next couple of months and further details regarding payment will follow. If they do not wish to complete their expedition but have completed their physical, skill and volunteering on eDofE they can opt to just receive a certificate of participation. Please ensure that they are continuing to work towards the skill, physical and volunteering section of the award if they are wishing to complete the expedition as it is a requirement to have this aspect finished.
