works together with other agencies and takes prompt action when necessary to safeguard these children, who are a particularly vulnerable group. our school will work with the virtual school head to discuss how the school can best support the child and meet the needs of the child’s personal education plan and use any additional resources accordingly. Keeping Children Safe in Education 2018 recognises that are circumstances when it is appropriate for staff in schools to use reasonable force to safeguard children and young people. The term ‘reasonable force’ covers the broad range of actions used by staff that involve a degree of physical contact to control or restrain children. This can range from guiding a child to safety by the arm, to more extreme circumstances such as breaking up a fight or where a young person needs to be restrained to prevent violence or injury. ‘Reasonable’ in these circumstances means ‘using no more force than is needed’. The use of force may involve either passive physical contact, such as standing between pupils or blocking a pupil’s path, or active physical contact such as leading a pupil by the arm out of the classroom. A ‘no contact’ policy at a school can leave staff unable to fully support and protect their pupils and students. Please refer to KCSIE 2018 and guidance offered at 103 – 105 Our school has considered this and had adopted the following policies: Manor Green Primary whole school positive behaviour plan 2018 Team Policy statements and protocols Our school recognises the use of technology has become a significant component of many safeguarding issues. sexual exploitation; radicalisation; sexual predation: technology often provides the platform that facilitates harm. An effective and proactive approach to online safety empowers our school to protect and educate the whole school community in their use of technology and establishes mechanisms to identify, intervene in and escalate any incident where appropriate. It also empowers children to make informed choices and keep themselves safe online. The breadth of issues classified within online safety is considerable, but can be categorised into three areas of risk: • content: being exposed to illegal, inappropriate or harmful material; for example pornography, fake news, racist or radical and extremist views; • contact: being subjected to harmful online interaction with other users; for example commercial advertising as well as adults posing as children or young adults; and • conduct: personal online behaviour that increases the likelihood of, or causes, harm; for example making, sending and receiving explicit images, or online bullying. 1.1 Filters and monitoring
