Child on Child Sexual abuse and/or harassment
|
Dedicated NSPCC helpline 0800 136 663 |
This helpline provides both children and adults who are potential victims of sexual abuse in schools with the appropriate support and advice. This includes how to contact the police and report crimes if they wish. The helpline also provides support to parents and professionals. See our safeguarding policy for our procedures.
Child on Child sexual abuse and harassment is not acceptable and not tolerated. Sexual harassment refers to unwanted conduct of a sexual nature that occurs online or offline. Sexual harassment violates a pupil’s dignity and makes them feel intimidated, degraded or humiliated, and can create a hostile, sexualised or offensive environment. If left unchallenged, sexual harassment can create an atmosphere that normalises inappropriate behaviour and may lead to sexual violence.
Sexual harassment could include:
- Sexual comments.
- Sexual “jokes” and taunting.
- Physical behaviour, such as deliberately brushing against another pupil
- Online sexual harassment, including non-consensual sharing of images and videos and consensual sharing of sexual images and videos (often known as sexting), inappropriate comments on social media, exploitation, coercion and threats
Web Filtering System
We have secured a service level agreement with Blackburn with Darwen LA to provide school with an efficient web filtering system. Our new system provides our school with weekly reporting data that supports the Senior Leadership Team with their efforts to ensure 100% effectiveness with regards to Online Safety for all stakeholders.
Our internal technician provision, Blue Orange, are experienced users of Forti Analyser and the data produced supports our own internal filtering checks that are carried out.
Additional information on Online Safety can be located in the Parents section.
All safeguarding documentation is read and understood (signed) by all the teaching staff, non-teaching staff and governors of Shadsworth Infant School
The Senior Leadership Team (SLT) are responsible for the recording, implementation and tracking of all statutory updates and training requirements. Copies of all training certificates can be found in individuals personnel files.
The Headteacher or members of the SLT carry out induction meetings with newly appointed staff to ensure key messages, policies and procedures are followed.
