This document discusses developing an effective e-safety policy for a school. It addresses e-safety basics like how to deliver e-safety training to students and teachers, what topics to cover, and running sessions for parents. It also discusses creating an e-safety policy document covering technology use, risk assessment, training, and governance. Finally, it discusses developing a bring your own device (BYOD) policy addressing infrastructure, allowed devices, filtering, data storage, and integrating the BYOD policy with the e-safety policy.

4. E-Safety Basics
What to think about?
•
How will you deliver e-safety to students? ICT/Computing? PSHE?
•
If you choose PSHE, do the teachers have enough knowledge? Is there enough time to deliver?
•
What year groups will you deliver e-safety to?
•
Have there been any e-safety incidents with your students/staff that could give you an idea about
what you should be covering?
•
What will the students learning outcomes be? I use interactive images and online publications

5. E-Safety Basics
What to cover in lessons
• Cyberbullying: What is it? How do you deal with it? Who do you tell? What does the law say? What
are the consequences?
•
Social Networking: What is it? What to share and not to share? Who do you accept as a friend? Are
your privacy settings set correctly? (teach students how to use Facebook privacy settings), what are
the consequences of sharing too much? Fake profiles
•
Sexting: What is it? Why is it a bad idea? What does the law say? Many students and adults don't
realise it is illegal if you are under 18.
Gaming, uploading videos, hacking and viruses, porn, the dark side of the web,
