Don't share passwords even with friends, make them hard to guess and if you think your account has been hacked or cloned report it straight away and change your password. - Remember that people online are not always who they say they are. Never agree to meet someone in person you have met online. If someone makes you feel uncomfortable online, log off or block them and tell a trusted adult. Use reporting buttons to report inappropriate behaviour. - It's good to know what's going on in the world, but if it gets too much take a break from it and do something that takes you off line, and helps you relax or focus on something else. - If you do send something you regret or feel you shouldn't have, please tell someone so we can try and help you put things right. Don't let anyone use something you have shared online to make you do or say things you are not ok with. This information is to help you and your family keep safe. If you are worried you have been a victim of online abuse or you're worried about somebody else you can report this to [CEOP online](http://www.ceop.police.uk/safety-centre). [ThinkuKnow](http://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/) have advice for all different ages including parents/carers on all sorts of online issues and where to get support. If you're being bullied online and would like to talk to someone in confidence you can also speak to Childline on 0800 1111 or talk to them [online](http://www.childline.org.uk/get-support/contacting-childline).

Operation Encompass ensures that there is a notification sent to a school’s Designated Safeguarding Lead prior to the start of the next school day after police officers have attended a report of domestic abuse, where there are children related to either of the adult parties involved. This sharing of information enables appropriate support to be given, dependent upon the needs and wishes of the child. For more information, please visit the Operation Encompass website - [www.operationencompass.org](http://www.operationencompass.org) We are keen to offer the best support to our pupils and we believe this is going to be extremely beneficial for all those involved. If you would like further support or information about domestic violence and abuse, please go to: [Leeds City Council - Domestic Violence and Abuse](https://www.leeds.gov.uk/antisocial-behaviour-and-crime/domestic-violence-and-abuse). ### Staying Safe Online We take E-Safety very seriously in school and use the S.M.A.R.T. rules to ensure all our children stay safe online. ![](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/images/pages/BESMARTonlinelogo.png) #### Online Safety Information for Parents Young people use the internet for a variety of activities including games, research and homework and, of course, for accessing social networking sites. Whilst they are confident with the technology children are not always able to make the right decisions about what they access, who they talk to and what they might post about themselves and others on the internet. As part of our commitment to safeguarding our children, and working with parents we have organised e-safety information for parents which includes the following: - Mobile Phones - Online Games - Parent Control tools - Risks your child may face online - Social Networking - Talking to people online ### Helpful Websites for Parents [NSPCC ](https://www.nspcc.org.uk/keeping-children-safe/online-safety/) [Childnet](https://www.childnet.com/) [Internet Matters](https://www.internetmatters.org/) [UK Safer Internet Centre](https://saferinternet.org.uk/guide-and-resource/parents-and-carers) [Think U Know - CEOP](https://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents/) [Childline ](https://www.childline.org.uk/info-advice/bullying-abuse-safety/online-mobile-safety/staying-safe-online/) ![](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/images/pages/15_Apps_Parents_Should_Know_About.png) ### Useful Guides for Parents General Online Safety Guide 616 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/harehills-primary-school/files/documents/General_Online_Safety_Guide.pdf) Online Safety Guide 6-10 Years 101 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/harehills-primary-school/files/documents/Online_Safety_guide_6-10_years_.pdf) Online Safety for Under 5’s 74 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/harehills-primary-school/files/documents/Online_Safety_for_under_5%E2%80%99s_.pdf) Online Safety for Beginners 121 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/harehills-primary-school/files/documents/Online_Safety_for_beginners_.pdf) Online Gaming an Introduction 1.32 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/harehills-primary-school/files/documents/Online_Gaming_an_Introduction.pdf) Parents Guide to YouTube 177 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/harehills-primary-school/files/documents/Parents_Parents_guide_to_Youtube_.pdf) Parents Guide to Instagram 606 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/harehills-primary-school/files/documents/Parents_Guide_To_Instagram_.pdf) Parents Guide to Snapchat 406 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/harehills-primary-school/files/documents/Parents_Guide_to_Snapchat_.pdf) [Parental Controls](https://www.internetmatters.org/parental-controls/?gad=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAuqKqBhDxARIsAFZELmLQNhc6nFSPfDJTmaYjzebsOPNDV4jmGjHKhLnE84N2Xa_ranxaBisaAj8PEALw_wcB) [Parents Guide to Roblox](https://connectsafely.org/roblox/) ### Our School - [Aims and Ethos](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/our-school/aims-and-ethos) - [Staff](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/our-school/staff) - [Curriculum](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/our-school/curriculum) - [SEND](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/our-school/send) - [EAL, Equality and Diversity](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/our-school/eal-equality-and-diversity) - [Safeguarding](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/our-school/safeguarding) - [Policies and Statements](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/our-school/policies-and-statements) - [Ofsted](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/our-school/ofsted) - [Pupil Premium](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/our-school/pupil-premium) - [PE and Sports Premium](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/our-school/sports-premium) - [Governors](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/our-school/governors) - [Leeds Learning Alliance](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/our-school/leeds-learning-alliance) - [Outcomes](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/our-school/outcomes) - [Financial Benchmarking](https://financial-benchmarking-and-insights-tool.education.gov.uk/school/107925) - [Vacancies](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/job-vacancies) ![Harehills Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/harehills-primary-school/images/logo/SchoolLogo_1600-white.png) ### Harehills Primary School Darfield Road Leeds West Yorkshire LS8 5DQ 0113 235 0539 ### Useful Links - [Attendance](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/families/attendance) - [Vacancies](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/job-vacancies) - [Term Dates](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/calendar) - [Admissions](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/families/admissions) - [Class Dojo](https://teach.classdojo.com/#/schools/4f0e08dd3b7c029066dc4786/story) - [Arbor](https://harehills-primary-school.uk.arbor.education/) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574246122575) ### Translation ### Office 365 [Sign in to Office 365](https://outlook.office.com/) © Copyright 2025–2026 Harehills Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
