15.5.2020 UPDATES AND INFORMATION:
Information from West Mercia Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Centre
You may have seen the recent alarming headlines regarding concerns that sex Offenders are targeting children and young people online in their own homes during Lockdown. These articles are based on an assessment by the National Crime Agency (NCA) which says there are at least 300,000 sex abusers in the U.K. posing a threat to children and young people.
https://nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/news/onlinesafetyathome
The NCA is urging children, parents and carers to ensure they are safe online and has launched a package of educational aids to be used in home schooling.
To illustrate the risks the agency has produced a series of 15-minute activity packages for parents and carers to complete with children. They are available on the NCA's social media platforms and the website
A survey led by child protection specialists the Ineqe Safeguarding Group, revealed that:
- one-in-10 seven to 17-year-olds claim they are unmonitored online during the lockdown as theirs parents struggle to cope with working from home and home schooling
- a fifth of those surveyed admitted chatting to strangers online and that children as young as seven spend nearly three hours a week broadcasting live videos of themselves
- a rise of 17% in live streaming since the schools closed
- Nearly three-quarters of children had a camera on their computers
Ineqe Safeguarding Group CEO Jim Gamble said: "Whilst everyone is locked down in their homes, there may be a tendency to think that our children and young people are somehow safer, simply because we know exactly where they are. However, the truth is that they might not be.
"Children will be spending more time online than ever before. They may be tempted to join groups, share intimate images and participate in live-streaming activity as they attempt to build an online audience.
"We can't ignore the fact that sex offenders are also sitting at home and most will access the internet."

20.3.2020
Government advice is:
If it is at all possible for children to be at home, then they should be.
Educational provision will be available for them – our school will remain partially open as long as it is safe to do so.
Please let us know if you intend to send your child into school as soon as possible, so that I can risk assess numbers.
We will open from 9.30 – 2 each day. If we do not have enough staff to safely open with the number of children who intend to come in, we will run a rota system and I will update parents.
If your child is in school, they will need to be provided with a packed lunch, a snack and a bottle of water unless on Free School Meals. They will not need to wear uniform.
Transport is currently very limited as driver numbers are low. We will update as this changes.
17.3.2020
School remains open as per the guidance from the DfE and Public Health England. You are advised to isolate for 14 days if you or any member of your household shows signs of Covid 19, especially a raised temperature and/ or persistent cough.
