Safeguarding in the Curriculum
At Dallam Community Primary School we teach our children in all year groups how to keep themselves and the people around them safe. We have many themed days and weeks over the academic year to maintain the profile of safeguarding with all children, for example, anti-bullying week and Stay Safe Week.
We have introduced a whole school PSHE scheme called Jigsaw. Jigsaw combines PSHE, emotional literacy, mindfulness, social skills, spiritual development and health education. It is a whole-school approach, with all year groups from Foundation Stage up to Year 6 including our designated provision classes working on the same theme (puzzle) at the same time.
We also discretely teach E-safety throughout our curriculum and during each Computing lesson and activity that our children take part in.

E-Safety
At Dallam Primary School, we appreciate the importance of the internet as a learning tool for children today and the use of Computing software as an integral part of teaching and learning.
Our children benefit from a wide range of technical resources, with online capabilities at the centre of their learning. This provides them with the opportunities to access a wide range of educational tools, communicate with friends and investigate the world around them.
However, there is also content accessible on the internet that is not suitable for children. We hope that the information provided on this page will help to keep your children safe and ensure they use technology, including mobile phones responsibly.
If you wish to know more please contact a member of staff at school.
Use of the Internet can have risks. Young people are more at risk of exposure to inappropriate or criminal behaviour if they are unaware of the dangers.
These dangers include:
• viewing unsuitable content e.g. hate material, adult content, sites that endorse unhealthy behaviour
• giving out personal information
• arranging to meet an online 'friend'
• becoming involved in, or the victim of, bullying, identity theft, or making and sending indecent or illegal images
• spending too much time online (internet addiction), which can effect concentration, sleep and health
• copying information from the Internet or buying work from other people to use as their own.
