Magna Academy Poole is dedicated to supporting parents and carers and to promoting the safe and responsible use of technology.
We aim to keep this page updated with all of the most recent information and documentation on keeping children safe, whether in their wider daily lives or when using the internet. Please feel free to access the resources below and to suggest to us, using our Contact Us page, any additional resources you feel may be of help to others.
When is my child ready to go out alone?
As your child gets older it’s likely they’ll want a bit more independence. Going out without you is a natural step for them to take when the time is right. This NSPCC Guide can help you work out when your child is ready and, most importantly, help you to keep them safe.
Keeping Children Safe
Please take a little time to watch the Run, Hide And Tell video.
What to do if your child is being bullied or bullying others?
If your child is being bullied, don't panic. Listen, stay calm and reassure your child that the situation can get better when action is taken.
Visit the Anti-Bullying Information Tool for Parents for advice on what to do to help your child if they are being bullied or if they have been accused of bullying others.
Download this Guide for Parents & Carers which includes useful information on recognising the signs of bullying, how to support your child if they are being bullied, the role and responsibility of your child’s school and advice on how to help your child restore their confidence and self-esteem.

Quotes from Magna Academy parents
"If you think you know it, you don't! It's always worthwhile learning more to help your children. Keeping them safe is the most important thing."
"As most parents would have been brought up with little or no internet at all, it is surprising how much has changed compared to what they think they know."
"I thought I knew it all!"
"I now realise I had no idea about the information available to strangers and how damaging postings can be to a child's future. What they post now could affect their chances of getting a job in the future."
