Brent LSCB & Esafety

Brent is one of the front runners of Esafety across the country. This is largely due to the extensive work in this area which has been, and continues to be carried out by the LSCB Esafety Sub-committee in delivering the LSCB Esafety Strategy.

Getting involved in your organisation

To get involved in schools

Ask about the Brent Esafety School Support Programme, and whether your school is already involved. If not, ask the Head teacher about getting involved.

Once your school is involved, teachers and staff will have access to staff insets, full day training on Esafety and staff protection, student assemblies, access to Esafety materials and resources, support with developing Esafety documents and policies in the school, and parent workshops.

To get involved in Children Centres:

Ask about the Brent Esafety Support Programme for Children Centres and whether your centre is already involved. If not, ask the manager about getting involved.

Once your centre is involved, staff will have access to staff insets, full day training on Esafety and staff protection, access to Esafety materials and resources, support with developing Esafety documents and policies in the centre, and parent workshops which can cover setting up parental controls, computer time and understanding the internet and technologies.
