www.zuttischools.com 81-83 Yorkshire Street, Oldham OL1 3ST OUR COVID-19 PREPARATIONS AND ADVICE We are taking every measure possible to ensure that we have School Uniform ready for when students go back to school. Below you will find some clear advice and guidance on the best way to shop with us, and some answers to our most frequently asked questions. Our first bit of advice is, where possible, order online rather than coming into the store. We are putting protection in place in the shop, but it is going to be much quicker for you to order on zuttischools.com. Below is some really useful information to help you make sure you are ordering the right products. However, if you have no choice but to come in-store then please bear the following in mind:  NO CASH PAYMENTS ACCEPTED – CARD ONLY  One Carer only per pupil.  We are happy to offer you Click and Collect service.  A maximum of three families (2 per family, 6 people in total) will be allowed on each floor at one time. Do not worry, it is not as bad as it sounds. We will get you served really quickly.  For your well-being, we have installed protective screens and hand sanitisers at the till.

The two entrances will be designated to different schools: The Right Hand Entrance will be for Coop Academy, Royton & Crompton, Saddleworth and Oasis Oldham (Hollins Road). Customers are kindly asked to queue down the street (towards mumps tram station). The Left Hand Entrance will be for North Chadderton, Waterhead and Oasis Leesbrook. Customers are kindly asked to queue up the street (towards the town centre). Uniform Alterations For known reasons, alterations will be limited this year. However, if you know the leg length you require for trousers, just let us know and we will shorten them free of charge before dispatching them.

Alternatively, we can send you some “wonderweb” free of charge, and you can alter trousers or blazer sleeves at home following easy steps presented at the link below https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Use-Hemming-Tape-Wonderweb-on-Trousers/

In addition, if you require a longer length skirt or trousers please email or give us a call and we will happily provide it for you.

What is more, we have posted some HOW TO MEASURE videos, which can be accessed on our website.

Our Oasis Habits booklet can be found here: https://www.oasisacademyoldham.org/uploaded/Oldham/Curriculum/Transition/Habits_transitio n_booklet.pdf

Head Start booklets will be available for all year groups to ensure our students have access to at least one hour of learning each day. These booklets will allow our students to get a head start for when they return to school in September. The booklets contain resources for every subject in the school and include lots of activities for students to complete. The booklets also include guidance on how our students can revise and remember content from subjects including how to use mind maps, flash cards and key words. Subjects in the booklet include:

 English  Maths  Science  Humanities  MFL

As part of the booklet there are also links to providers such as GCSE Pod and BBC Bitesize, these sites will enable students to access past content from lessons and subjects in order to further improve the skills they have learned from the Head start booklets. There is also a link to the Oak National Academy website which includes instructions on how to access lessons on the site.

We want our students to have access to a wide range of appropriate study materials over the summer break. In addition to the wealth of material that Oasis Academy Oldham staff will provide, I recommend you take time in advance of the summer break to familiarise yourself with the Department for Education funded online learning platform Oak National Academy.

OAO Health, Wellbeing & Safeguarding

A large part of keeping children safe and happy is to try and keep them in a routine, even during the school holidays. Please see the guidance on how to structure home learning to support with this. It is also important to provide time to exercise, which is why we have included this on timetables. During a normal school week, our students walk or ride a bike to school, move around the building, take part in PE lessons and do activities during break time and lunchtime and continuing during the holiday with exercise and physical activity is just as important. It is important to realise the impact of exercise on students’ mood and wellbeing and continue to make time for some form of exercise activity during their day. Our PE team have included a number of resources to support you with this, which can be found in the online student area.

Further support is available from the following providers: https://www.kooth.com/ (Kooth is an online counselling and emotional well-being support service for children and young people). https://www.nhs.uk/apps-library/chathealth/ (ChatHealth is a secure and confidential text messaging service for young people.

Emotional Support for our BAME Communities

DIGITAL SAFETY DURING COVID-19: SAFEGUARDING FROM HARMFUL INFLUENCES ONLINE

• The impact of COVID-19 means that most of us will be at home for an extended period and are likely to be spending increasing amounts of time online.

• The online world is a necessity for many children in accessing school work and it delivers huge benefits, not least in enabling us to stay connected to family and friends during this period. However, many parents may feel concerned about the content their children are accessing.

• Although rare, there is a risk that increased online activity and feelings of stress and isolation may be exploited by negative influences and online groomers of all kinds to target vulnerable children and young people directly.

• An understanding of digital safety will help parents and carers safeguard loved ones from a range of harms, whether that’s child sexual exploitation, fraud, or extremist influences seeking to radicalise vulnerable people.

• Extremists may use the COVID-19 outbreak to promote hateful views, for example through conspiracy theories blaming a particular group for the virus, or through spreading misinformation regarding these groups’ responses to it.

What steps can I take to keep my child safe online?

• If you have downloaded new apps or bought new technology to help stay connected at this time, remember to review and adjust privacy and safety settings if you or your child is signing up to a new online service.

• Government has encouraged Internet Service Providers to allow parents to easily filter content to put you in control of what your child can see online.

• You can switch on family friendly filters to help prevent age inappropriate content being accessed on devices in your home. - The UK Safer Internet Centre provides guidance on how to do this. - Internet Matters has also provided step by step guides on how to setup parental controls.

● More information is included in the ‘Further Resources’ section.

What are the signs that my child may be being exploited online?

• Online exploitation is often hard to recognise because it is a complex issue. When it comes to being drawn into extremist ideas online, sometimes there are clear warning signs, in other cases the changes are less obvious.

• Although some of these traits may be quite common among teenagers, taken together they could be indicators that your child may need some help:

- Exploring new and unusual websites, chat forums and platforms. Harmful influences may push individuals towards platforms with a greater degree of anonymity. - Joining new or secret groups since isolation. - Speaking with new friends or being secretive about chats during online gaming or in forums. - A strong desire to seek new meaning, identity and purpose. - Using language you wouldn’t expect them to know. - Watching, sharing or creating films online linked to religious, political or racial hate. - Becoming increasingly argumentative or refusing to listen to different points of view.

Should I be concerned that a loved one is being exploited online?

• The above are merely signs that they might need help, but you know your child best and you will want to speak with them first. Check in with them and ask about what they are viewing, who they are speaking to and how they are feeling. This might feel difficult, but here are some pointers to help you:

- Listen carefully to their fears and worries. Find some helpful tips here. - Avoid explanations that could be interpreted as antagonistic, belittling or frightening. - Advice and support is available to help them understand COVID-19. - If they are finding it hard to cope with bereavement and grief - advice can be found here.

What help is available if my child is being exploited online?

• It is important to safeguard loved ones from a range of online harms, whether that’s child sexual exploitation, fraud, or extremist influences seeking to radicalise vulnerable people.

• If you are concerned that your child may be at risk of radicalisation, help is available to make sure they get the support they need to move away from harmful influences.

• Teachers, healthcare practitioners, social workers, the police, charities, psychologists and religious leaders work together to safeguard those vulnerable to radicalisation through a safeguarding programme known as Prevent.

• Prevent protects people from being drawn into hateful extremism – regardless of the ideology. It works in a similar way to safeguarding processes designed to protect people from gangs, drug abuse, and physical and sexual exploitation.

• Receiving support through Prevent is voluntary, confidential and not any form of criminal sanction. It will not show up on any checks or negatively affect an individual’s future in any way.

• The type of support available is wide-ranging, and can include help with education or careers advice, dealing with mental or emotional health issues, or digital safety training for parents; it all depends on the individual’s needs.

• With this specialist help, vulnerable people across the country have moved away from supporting hateful extremism, enabling them to live more stable and fulfilling lives.

How can I access support and advice for a loved one being radicalised?

• As with other safeguarding functions, Prevent is still operating during this time and is here to support families in times of need.

• If you are worried that a loved one is being radicalised, you can call the police on 101 to get advice or share a concern so that they can get safeguarding support. Alternatively, you can contact your local authority safeguarding team for help.

• Contacting the authorities will not get the individual into trouble if a criminal act hasn’t been committed. The local authority or police will discuss your concerns, suggest how they can best help and give you access to relevant support and advice.

• If you think someone is in immediate danger, or if you see or hear something that may be terrorist-related, trust your instincts and call 999 or the confidential Anti-Terrorist Hotline on 0800 789 321.

I have seen concerning hateful content online that could cause harm. What should I do?

• Prevent takes robust action to tackle radicalisation online and to counter the ideology promoted by extremists. This includes removing terrorist-related material and action to suspend the accounts of those fuelling these views.

• Any member of the public can report terrorist content they find online through the GOV.UK referral tool. The Action Counters Terrorism campaign provides more information on this.

Further resources There are resources available to help you understand and protect your child from different harms online. • Educate Against Hate Parents’ Hub provides resources and government advice for parents and carers on keeping young people safe from extremism. • Let’s Talk About It provides support for parents and carers to keep children safe from online radicalisation. • UK Safer Internet Centre has guides on the privacy settings, parental controls and internet safety features of the major internet service providers. • Parent Zone works with Prevent to provide digital safety advice for parents. • Thinkuknow provides resources for parents and carers to help keep children safe online. • Childnet has developed guidance for parents and carers to begin a conversation about online safety, and on keeping under-fives safe online. • Parent Info provides digital support and guidance for parents and carers from leading experts and organisations • NSPCC guidance for parents and carers is designed to help keep children safe online. Their Net Aware website, produced in collaboration with O2, provides specific safety information on popular apps and websites. • Childline can provide advice and support if your child is worried, from dialling 0800 1111 or downloading the ‘For Me’ app. • This list of online education resources for home education includes resources to support your child’s mental wellbeing.

Local Contacts and Information If you have a concern that a child may be at risk of radicalisation into terrorism, or extremism leading to terrorism, you can contact the Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub by email: [email protected], or alternatively, telephone 0161 770 7777 for advice.
