SAFEGUARDING & CHILD PROTECTION
At Angels we take safeguarding and child protection very seriously. Our staff ensure that we are the very best with regards to ensuring your child is safe at our setting.
Management ensure that when it comes to Child protection no expense is spared to ensure that our staff are trained to best protect your children.
At Angels we understand how important it is to help keep your child safe. Whether your child is at nursery, or has siblings who are accessing the Internet, we aim to keep your family safe online. This is why we have provided you with a link for Internet Matters. As your children head into school, there are great tips to help keep them safe online.
The Internet Matters site has a wealth of expert advice on issues like cyberbullying, inappropriate content, and sexting. There is also helpful information on how to talk about specific issues with your child. You can also get tips on privacy in social networking such as Snapchat and Instagram, and practical steps showing how to set safety features on all sorts of devices.
There is also an app which you can upload to your phone or android device which can help you further.
