E-Safety in Schools

Every Bournemouth and Poole school has an E safety champion who ensures the school has an effective policy and good practice around E safety. They also provide pupils, staff and parents with appropriate training and support.

If pupils and parents require support relating to specific incidents, the Safe Schools and Communities team can get directly involved. You can contact them on ssct@dorset.pnn.police.uk or 01202 222229. The team also provides a termly newsletter which many schools put on their website.
