Helpful websites for Parents and Carers

 

Keeping children safe when using the internet and social media is a high priority for us. Please use these resources that will help you to speak with your child about how they can keep themselves safe, and what to do when there is an issue. E-safety is very important to the school so please report any incidents of cyber bullying or inappropriate texting or use of social media to Mrs Anderson. This can be done by phone (0151 235 1410), email e.anderson@hope.liverpool.sch.uk , by using the 'Text Someone' service or using the virtual school gate on this website.
