Be Smart Be Safe
Students and parents had the opportunity to participate in training sessions today on the themes of social media and drugs.
The social media sessions were run by Sharon Girling OBE, an ex-police officer who provided a very informative session. Students and parents were surprised at the levels of risk involved in communicating electronically and the dangers that young people were placing themselves in, with regard to their personal safety and the law.
The drugs session was run by a police officer and parents after the session felt that they had learnt a great deal and that it would benefit other parents, by raising awareness, if we could arrange a repeat of the evening. Approximately sixty parents attended the evening from across all year groups. The evening lasted longer than intended as parents had a number of questions and concerns that they were able to discuss with the experts.
