4 Sectin 1: Overview This e-safety plicy cvers the acceptable use f the Internet and related technlgies. It has been written by the schl, building n the Lndn Grid fr Learning (LGfL) exemplar plicy and previus Becta guidance. It has been agreed by the senir leadership team and apprved by Academy Cuncil Gvernrs. 1.1 Cntext Harnessing Technlgy: Transfrming learning and children s services 1 sets ut the gvernment plans fr taking a strategic apprach t the future develpment f Cmputing. The Internet and related technlgies are pwerful tls, which pen up new prspects fr cmmunicatin and cllabratin. Educatin is embracing these new technlgies as they bring with them fresh pprtunities fr bth teachers and learners. T use these technlgies effectively requires an awareness f the benefits and risks, the develpment f new skills, and an understanding f their apprpriate and effective use bth in and utside f the classrm. DfES, estrategy 2005 The Green Paper Every Child Matters 2 and the prvisins f the Children Act , Wrking Tgether t Safeguard Children 4 sets ut hw rganisatins and individuals shuld wrk tgether t safeguard and prmte the welfare f children. The staying safe utcme includes aims that children and yung peple are: safe frm maltreatment, neglect, vilence and sexual explitatin safe frm accidental injury and death safe frm bullying and discriminatin safe frm crime and anti-scial behaviur in and ut f schl secure, stable and cared fr. Much f these aims apply equally t the virtual wrld that children and yung peple will encunter whenever they use Cmputing in its varius frms. Fr example, we knw that the internet has been used fr grming children and yung peple with the ultimate aim f expliting them sexually; we knw that Cmputing can ffer new weapns fr bullies, wh may trment their victims via websites r text messages; and we knw that children and yung peple have been expsed t inapprpriate cntent when nline, which can smetimes lead t their invlvement in crime and anti-scial behaviur. Mrever, it can be used t prmte radicalisatin, extreme views and terrrism. It is the duty f the schl t ensure that every child in their care is safe, and the same principles shuld apply t the virtual r digital wrld as wuld be applied t the schl s physical buildings. This Plicy dcument is drawn up t prtect all parties the students, the staff and the schl and aims t prvide clear advice and guidance n hw t minimise risks and hw t deal with any infringements See The Children Act 2004 [ 3 See Every Child Matters website [ 4 Full title: Wrking Tgether t Safeguard Children: A guide t inter-agency wrking t safeguard and prmte the welfare f children.

5 1.2 The technlgies Cmputing in the 21 st Century has an all-encmpassing rle within the lives f children and adults. New technlgies are enhancing cmmunicatin and the sharing f infrmatin. Current and emerging technlgies used in schl and, mre imprtantly in many cases, used utside f schl by children include: The Internet Instant messaging (e.g. ften using simple web cams Blgs (an n-line interactive diary) Pdcasting (radi / audi bradcasts dwnladed t cmputer r MP3/4 player) Scial netwrking sites (e.g. / / / / Vide bradcasting sites (e.g. Chat Rms (Ppular Gaming Sites (e.g. Music dwnlad sites (Ppular Mbile phnes with camera and vide functinality internet and apps. Mbile tablet devices (e.g. ipad, Ggle Nexus, Kindle) Smart phnes with mbile Gaming Cnsles (e.g. Xbx, Play Statin3) with internet cnnectin. 1.3 Whle schl apprach t the safe use f Cmputing Creating a safe Cmputing learning envirnment includes three main elements at this schl: An effective range f technlgical tls; Plicies and prcedures, with clear rles and respnsibilities; A cmprehensive e-safety educatin prgramme fr pupils, staff and parents. 1.4 Rles and Respnsibilities E-Safety is recgnised as an essential aspect f strategic leadership in this schl and the Principal, with the supprt f Gvernrs, aims t embed safe practices int the culture f the schl. The Principal ensures that the Plicy is implemented and cmpliance with the Plicy mnitred. The respnsibility fr e-safety has been designated t the Cmputing team.

6 Our e-safety team ensures they keep up t date with e-safety issues and guidance thrugh rganisatins such as The Child Explitatin and Online Prtectin (CEOP) 5. The schl s e-safety team ensures the Principal, senir management and Gvernrs are updated as necessary. Gvernrs need t have an verview understanding f e-safety issues and strategies at this schl. We ensure ur Gvernrs are aware f ur lcal and natinal guidance n e-safety and are updated at least annually n plicy develpments. All teachers are respnsible fr prmting and supprting safe behaviurs in their classrms and fllwing schl e-safety prcedures. Central t this is fstering a N Blame culture s pupils feel able t reprt any bullying, abuse r inapprpriate materials. All staff shuld be familiar with the schls Plicy including: Safe use f ; Safe use f Internet including use f internet-based cmmunicatin services, such as instant messaging and scial netwrk; Safe use f schl netwrk, equipment and data; Safe use f digital images and digital technlgies, such as mbile phnes and digital cameras; publicatin f pupil infrmatin/phtgraphs and use f website; Cyberbullying prcedures; their rle in prviding e-safety educatin fr pupils; 1.5 Cmmunicatins: Sharing the Plicy Hw will the plicy be shared with pupils? In Assembly: E-Safety tpics are cvered in bth KS1 and KS2 assemblies each year, including the annual Safer Internet Day led by the UK Safer Internet Day Centre with fllw up class based activities. In Cmputing lessns: Within the Cmputing curriculum, pupils are taught and reminded abut e-safety during apprpriate units, such as using and nline research. Instructin in respnsible and safe use shuld precede Internet access. This apprach als applies t crss-curricular lessns, where Cmputing (such as laptps r tablet cmputers with an internet cnnectin) is used t supprt learning in ther subjects. In Class: At the start f each academic year, pupils are intrduced r reminded abut the schl s rules fr respnsible use f the internet. Class teachers encurage discussin f these rules, t ensure understanding, befre all pupils sign a class agreement. In all appraches, pupils are taught apprpriate nline behaviur, made aware f pssible risks, taught t minimise these risks and reminded hw t reprt a prblem. 5

7 Hw will the plicy be shared with staff? Cmputing use is widespread and all staff including administratin, caretaker, gvernrs and helpers shuld be included in apprpriate awareness raising and training. Staff training in safe and respnsible Internet use and n the schl s e-safety Plicy will be prvided as required, allwing time fr discussin f the issues and develp apprpriate teaching strategies. Inductin f new staff shuld include a discussin f the schl s e-safety Plicy. All staff are required t read and sign an Acceptable Use (AUP) frm, fllwing training n the schl s e-safety Plicy. The Principal will give authrisatin fr each new member f staff t be allwed access t an accunt; be cnnected t the Intranet and Internet; and be able t use the schl s Cmputing resurces and systems. Hw will the plicy be shared with parents? Fr all new pupils, parents are required t read the pupils rules f Acceptable Use (AUP) and sign a Parental Agreement frm befre pupils are allwed access t the internet. Here parents agree t supprt the schl by prmting safe use f the Internet and digital technlgy at hme and will infrm the schl if they have any cncerns ver their child s e-safety. Internet use in pupils hmes is increasing rapidly, and unless parents are aware f the dangers, pupils may have unrestricted access t the Internet. As a result, the schl will cmmunicate additinal safety infrmatin t parents. This may include: articles in the schl newsletter; useful infrmatin and web links n the schl website; r presentatins t parents. 1.6 Hw will cmplaints regarding e-safety be handled? The schl will take all reasnable precautins t ensure e-safety. Hwever, wing t the internatinal scale and linked nature f Internet cntent, the availability f mbile technlgies and speed f change, it is nt pssible t guarantee that unsuitable material will never appear n a schl cmputer r mbile device. Neither the schl nr The Park Federatin Academy Trust can accept liability fr material accessed, r any cnsequences f Internet access. Staff and pupils are given infrmatin abut infringements in use and pssible sanctins. Sanctins available include: interview/cunselling by tutr / Head f Year / e-safety team / Principal; infrming parents r carers; remval f Internet r cmputer access fr a perid, referral t LA / Plice. Our e-safety Crdinatr acts as first pint f cntact fr any cmplaint. Any cmplaint abut staff misuse is referred t the Principal. Cmplaints f cyberbullying are dealt with in accrdance with ur Anti-Bullying Plicy. Cmplaints relating t child prtectin are dealt with in accrdance with schl child prtectin prcedures. The e-safety team will keep a recrd f issues relating t pupil misuse f r internet services.

15 Sectin 6: Handheld Devices and mbile phnes 6.1 Overview This sectin f the plicy sets ut what is acceptable and unacceptable use f mbile phne and handheld devices by the whle schl cmmunity (students, staff and visitrs) while they are at Schl r undertaking schl activities away frm schl. This applies t all individuals wh have access t persnal and/r wrk-related handheld devices within the bradest cntext f the setting. It includes children and yung peple, parents and carers, practitiners, managers, vlunteers, students, gvernrs, visitrs, cntractrs and cmmunity users. This list is nt exhaustive. It is t be recgnised that it is the enhanced functins f many handheld devices that will give the mst cause fr cncern; and which shuld be cnsidered the mst susceptible t ptential misuse. Examples f misuse include the taking and distributin f indecent images, explitatin and bullying. It must be understd that shuld handheld devices be misused, there will be a negative impact n an individual s safety, dignity, privacy and right t cnfidentiality. Such cncerns are nt t be cnsidered exclusive t children and yung peple, s the needs and vulnerabilities f all must be respected and prtected. Mbile phnes and handheld devices can als cause an unnecessary distractin during the wrking day and are ften t be cnsidered intrusive when used in the cmpany f thers. The purpse f this plicy is t prevent unacceptable use f mbile phnes, camera-phnes and ther hand held devices by the schl cmmunity, and thereby t prtect the Schl s staff and students frm undesirable materials, filming, intimidatin r harassment. 6.2 Whle schl use f handheld devices and mbile phnes Mbile phnes brught int schl are entirely at the staff member, pupils & parents r visitrs wn risk. The Schl accepts n respnsibility fr the lss, theft r damage f any phne r hand held device brught int schl. Mbile phnes will nt be used during lessns r frmal schl time. All visitrs are requested t keep their phnes n silent. The Schl reserves the right t search the cntent f any mbile r handheld devices n the schl premises where there is a reasnable suspicin that it may cntain undesirable material, including thse which prmte prngraphy, vilence r bullying. Staff mbiles r hand held devices may be searched at any time as part f rutine mnitring. Where parents r students need t cntact each ther during the schl day, they shuld d s nly thrugh the Schl s telephne. N images r vides shuld be taken n mbile phnes r persnally-wned mbile devices withut the prir cnsent f the persn r peple cncerned. The Bluetth functin shuld be set t hidden r switched ff n a mbile phne and nt be used t send images r files t ther mbile phnes. Mbile phnes will nt be used during lessns r frmal schl time unless as part f an apprved and directed curriculum-based activity with cnsent frm a member f staff.

16 6.3 Pupils use f handheld devices and mbile phnes The Schl strngly advises that pupil mbile phnes shuld nt be brught int schl. Hwever, the Schl accepts that there may be particular circumstances in which a parent wishes their child t have a mbile phne fr their wn safety. All pupils mbile phnes and persnally-wned devices will be handed in at receptin shuld they be brught int schl, and cllected at the end f the schl day. If a student breaches the schl plicy then the phne r device will be cnfiscated and will be held in a secure place in the schl ffice. Mbile phnes and devices will be released t parents r carers in accrdance with the schl plicy. If a pupil needs t cntact his r her parents r carers, they will be allwed t use a schl phne. Parents are advised nt t cntact their child via their mbile phne during the schl day, but t cntact the schl ffice. Pupils shuld prtect their phne numbers by nly giving them t trusted friends and family members.
