E-Safety. School recognises that it has a duty to ensure the safety of pupils in the digital ‘virtual’ world. Pupils use technology inside and outside school providing opportunities for learning but there are also risks to young people. We use technology to deliver innovative lessons, educating pupils in the potential and responsibilities which come with new technology. We provide a safe online environment within school and teach students about different risks, including bullying, harassment, grooming, identity theft and personal data protection. The nature of technological advance means School reviews its provision and policies regarding safe ICT use. E-safety is a topic incorporated into PSHE lessons and computing lessons in the Prep and Senior Schools. Pupils study a wide ranging programme of e-Safety materials in PSHE and computing lessons. The School addresses online safety issues such as cyber- bullying and sexting through its PSHE programme and in computing lessons. Organisations such as the NSPCC ( xxxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx.xx/preventing- abuse/child-abuse-and-neglect/online-abuse/ ), Childnet (xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/parents-and-carers) and Think U Know (xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xx.xx/parents/ ) offer advice for parents. Prep School pupils receive e-safety advice. This policy covers both devices provided by the School and devices owned by pupils and staff and brought into school.
E-Safety. ICT and its related technologies such as email, the internet and mobile devices are an expected part of our daily working life in the academy. This agreement is designed to ensure that all students are aware of the responsibilities when using any form of ICT, inside the academy or outside the academy. All students are expected to sign this agreement and adhere at all times to its contents, whether inside or outside the academy. The below is not intended to be an exhaustive list. Users should use their own good judgement when using academy technologies inside the academy, and internet social networking sites outside the academy. • Make sure your posts reflect well on the academy and do not present the academy in a negative light • Make full use of the internet and academy technologies such as GCSE Pod and Show My Homework • All posts should be positive. The academy will not tolerate offensive language/or comments on internet/social media, whether this is inside or outside our academy.
E-Safety. When your child is working online, they must observe the following e-safety/’netiquette’ rules:
E-Safety. The following guidelines apply while using School equipment and IT network:
E-Safety. 13.1 Staff should follow Circles Alternative Education Ltd’s E-Safety policy for staff and the Acceptable Use Policy at all times and have regard for Circles Alternative Education Ltd’s E-Safety policy for pupils.
E-Safety. Children may use school technology whilst booked in to childcare, and the use of such is controlled in line with school policy. All internet connections are filtered and monitored remotely and the children’s use of the internet is monitored by childcare staff during sessions. Should there be any concern that children may be trying to access inappropriate material, or using technology in inappropriate ways, they will be stopped and the issue reported to the Designated Safeguarding Lead / Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead, alongside the child’s parent/carer. Staff may also stop children from using computers for a period of time, if they believe that this would help to underline these important messages.
E-Safety. E-safety encompasses internet technologies and electronic communications via mobile phones, games consoles and wireless technology. It highlights the need to educate children and young people about the benefits, risks and responsibilities of using information technology.
E-Safety. I understand that All Saints Academy will monitor my use of the systems, devices and digital communications. • I understand that All Saints Academy systems and devices are primarily intended for educational use within the Academy and at home. I will not use them for personal or recreational use unless I have permission. • I will respect others’ work and property and will not access, copy, remove or otherwise alter any other user’s files, without the owner’s knowledge and permission. • I understand the risks and will not try to upload, download or access any materials which are illegal or inappropriate or may cause harm or distress to others, nor will I try to use any programmes or software that might allow me to bypass the filtering / security systems in place to prevent access to such materials. • I should ensure I have permission to use the original work of others in my own work. Misuse: • I understand that any misuse of my device or non-compliance with the Acceptable Use Agreement will result in my iPad being temporarily removed. • I understand that if I fail to comply with this Acceptable Use Agreement, I will be subject to disciplinary action. This may include loss of access to the school network and relevant sanctions the school deems necessary which may include contact with parents/carers and in the event of illegal activities involvement of the police. • I will not remove the All Saints Academy asset number from the back of the device as this is used to identify the owner of devices internally. • I understand the school also has the right to take action against me if I am involved in incidents of inappropriate behaviour, that are covered in this agreement, when I am out of school and where they involve my membership of the school community (examples would be cyber-bullying, use of images or personal information).
E-Safety. I will support and promote the school’s e-Safety policy and social media policy and help pupils learn to be safe and responsible in their use of ICT, related technologies and social networking. I will support pupils in learning how to stay safe on the internet, recognise cyber- bullying and encourage them to report incidents and keep them safe from harm. I will also support parent and carer understanding of related issues. I will support the school’s approach to online safety and not deliberately upload or add any images, video, sounds or text that could upset or offend any member of the school community. If I discover inappropriate/illegal sites, or inappropriate/illegal use by an adult or pupil, the machine should be isolated and the Head Teacher notified as a matter of urgency, who will then contact the police. I will ensure that my online activity, both in school and outside school, will not bring my professional role into disrepute. I will not add pupils/students as ‘friends’ on any social networking sites and will report any concerns to the Head Teacher. If pupils attempt to contact me via social media, I will also inform the Head Teacher immediately. I will not post any comments on social networking sites which are likely to bring my professional or school reputation into disrepute. The school believes it is far safer for staff not to accept either school children or ex-pupils as ‘friends’. If I make an exception to this guidance I will refer directly to the Head teacher to inform my decision. x.x. xxxxx person is also a family member. I will ensure that I complete regular e-safety training as required.
E-Safety. Information and Communication Technology (ICT), including the internet, digital and mobile technologies have become an important part of learning in our school. We expect all children to act safely and be responsible when using any ICT so they become responsible, competent, confident and creative learners. These rules have been prepared to ensure that children stay safe when using the ICT equipment. By using the ICT in school you and your child agree to the following: • To always ask an adult before using the internet at school and will use ICT for school purposes only • To always log-on using your own user name and password • To not share user name and password (with the exception of parents/carers or teachers) • To not give to anyone their personal details eg phone number or address • To let an adult know if they see something online that upsets them • To always send polite and friendly messages • To only upload or add images, videos, sounds or text that would not upset anyone • To think before printing, opening files or deleting • To follow the E-Smart rules: E Everything is personal - do not share any information about yourself S Keep your password a secret M Only write polite messages A Ask before going on the internet R Always follow the rules T Tell a grown up if you find something on the internet that does not feel right Parent's Agreement Having discussed these aims with my child I undertake to support him / her to achieve them.
