Safeguarding Information

At Hardwick Primary School we have a strong culture of safeguarding. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

We believe that all those who come into contact with children and families in their everyday work, including those who do not have a specific role in relation to safeguarding children, have a duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of children.

Useful Safeguarding Websites

National Online Safety (NOS) Website

Every Wednesday we receive a weekly update from the National Online Safety Team. They have produced a series of parent guides on games your child may be playing and issues that can arise from online use and gaming. Past parent guides include: Fortnite, FIFA, Minecraft, Roblox, WhatsApp, Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, TikTok, You Tube, live streaming, screen addition, online grooming, etc.

The above guides can be found at: www.nationalonlinesafety.com/platform-guides

Parents can sign up to receive weekly updates from the website and if you are on Twitter, follow them at #WakeUpWednesday. We think you will find the guides very useful and informative.
