Corby Glen Community Primary School
Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Malicious Communications has been an ongoing problem we have had in Lincolnshire for the last few years now. It is one of the top 5 crimes in which our 14-16 year olds have received a criminal conviction for. Online behaviour is something we talk regularly to children and young people about across the county within our online safety sessions. We want to also make sure parents are aware of these laws and the potential consequences our online behaviour can have in the real world, for our children’s futures. We have attached a document which outlines the different laws regarding online behaviour, this is to accompany our video aimed at parents Stay Safe Talks - Malicious Communications (youtube.com)/ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Akl9CgpP9t8We) would appreciate if you could share the video and attached factsheet through your newsletters to help educate parents on this issue.
Kind Regards,
Kathryn

Lincolnshire Police Notification on e -scooter
Thinking of buying an e-scooter?
Lincolnshire Police is reminding parents and guardians that e-scooters are not legal to use it on public pavements or roads.
Inspector Jason Baxter said, “Our approach to this will be to engage and educate. When that fails, we will enforce. We know that e-scooters are probably on Christmas lists this year, and may be tempting in the January sales, we just want people to think twice before buying a product that’s so limited in where you can legally use it.”
Whilst our aim is to engage and educate, penalties for using an e-scooter illegally can include seizure of the e-scooter.
