Private Fostering – What You Need to Know
Private Fostering – What You Need to Know
If your child is staying with someone who isn’t a close relative for 28 days or more, this is called private fostering.
It’s really important to let the local authority know – this is a legal requirement and helps make sure children are safe and supported.
For more information, check out this guide: Hampshire-Private-Fostering-updated-090623-compressed.pdf or visit Private fostering | Children and Families | Hampshire County Council for a more comprehensive guide.
If you’re unsure or have questions, please get in touch with us at school.
Thank you for helping us keep children safe!
Managing Digital Lives
New Guide to help parents support children in the Digital World
It can be hard to keep up with the fast-changing digital world your child moves through every day. From social media and gaming to online learning and messaging, the online space is constantly evolving — and knowing how to support your child with confidence isn’t always easy.
To help, the Children’s Commissioner for England, working alongside children and young people, has created a new practical guide designed to make conversations about online life easier and more positive for families.
The guide includes a dedicated activity pack for children and young people, giving families the opportunity to explore digital habits together. It supports parents and carers to:
-
Open up meaningful conversations about managing online time
-
Create a shared digital agreement that works for the whole family
-
Build a trusted support network for when things feel difficult
-
Explore ideas for fun and engaging activities away from screens
Rather than focusing on rules alone, the guide encourages understanding, balance and teamwork — helping children feel heard while giving adults the tools they need to offer guidance and support.
If you’re short on time, don’t worry. We’ll be sharing highlights from the guide each week on our social media channels, so you can dip in and out and take things at your own pace.

This resource is a great starting point for any family wanting to feel more confident navigating the online world together.
