E-Safety.

Plus a range of threats not yet invented!

Above all, e-safety is a PSHE matter NOT

and ICT matter

(although it clearly has implications for

systems and their management)



E-Safety.

Schools should have a designated e-safety

officer.

(Could be the school child-protection officer)

Impress upon all staff that e-safety is NOT an

ICT issue alone, or a technical issue, although it

touches on both.



E-Safety.

We have to have in place an e-Safety policy

that teaches safe practices to children and sets

out clear expectations for parents, carers and

staff.

A child types in a perfectly harmlessgoogle search. Unfortunately, it yields an

image that is unacceptable in school

despite the filter.

E-Safety.Do you have a clear ³flight plan´ that can

be followed by all staff in the event of a

breach of e-safety?

the absence of the Head Teacher or

Deputy?

E-Safety.Data in Transit

What do you take home?

How?Why?

When?




Do you know what do your staff take

home?

How?Why?

When?

A quote from a network manager

³ I have no idea what data my staff take

off site«.or how.´




Email. Secure or not?Do members of staff share any child

sensitive information via email?

Does your staff know how to encrypt

documents attached to emails?




Encrypted memory sticks. Safe as long as

the encryption key is not printed or writtenon them! (Yes, this has happened!)

Hardware protection is better than

software protection.

happens?

the Data Protection Act.

³«an effective range of technological

tools«´

RM provide and internet filter

E-Safety.The doctrine of ³reasonable care´

It is expected that schools will take ³all

reasonable precautions´ to protect.

Reasonable care = ³The degree of care

that a reasonably prudent person would

use under like circumstances´



E-Safety.Involve everyone.

A working group to discuss what e-safety

will look like at your school.Governors,

Staff

Parents

Children/students




Make sure that the ³non-negotiables´ are

not softened just because they may beuncomfortable to discuss




Remember that many people will be

uncomfortable discussing this« it canlead to ³the dark side of the Force´




Parents may be particularly anxious.

You should be able to offer them generaladvice for e-safety in the home, or point

them to the Becta website.

You cannot become responsible for their

home PC systems.



E-Safety.What can you do in school

Make sure you have an Acceptable Use

policy, signed up to by all your schoolcommunity.

Ensure your anti-bullying policy refers to

cyber bullying.




Designate a senior management team

member with responsibility for safeguarding to also be the central

contact point for all e-safety issues.

(E-safety is a child protection issue, NOT

an ICT issue)




Listen to your instincts and do not let it go

until you are happy that you have arobust, enforceable, policy and measures

in place to monitor it.




Review Review Review.

Acceptable Use and e-Safety policiesbecome more important as we explore

connected learning.

Threats and abuses are organic. Your

policies need reviewing annually.
