Episode #5
Online Safety
In this episode, Eva Cliffe, Director of Professional Learning & Development and Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) at the British School of Bucharest, is joined by Dan Batson, Director of Primary Academic Studies and Deputy DSL and Darren Goode, Director of Secondary Pastoral Care and Inclusion, Deputy DSL. Together, they explore the online risks children face today and share honest reflections from both their professional and personal experiences.
The discussion highlights the importance of creating open and ongoing dialogue at home, rather than relying solely on rules. From developing a family charter to framing internet access as a privilege, the speakers offer practical strategies to help children feel empowered, informed and safe in their digital lives. Their message is clear: prioritising conversation is key to building trust and promoting responsible online behaviour.
Listeners who are also parents of BSB students are encouraged to visit Safe at BSB, our safeguarding blog available via the Parent Portal, which includes helpful resources and guidance. For any questions or concerns related to online safety, please contact the Safeguarding Team at dsl@britishschool.ro.
