What should schools do?


Schools must address Internet Safety. They will need:

  • Policies
    • E-safety

    • Clear procedures for ‘what do we do if . . ?‘

Policies should all be based on clear understanding of the issues and practical discussions with staff, governors, parents, the LA, etc.

  • Technical infrastructure
    • Filtering
    • Proxy servers
  • An e-safety education programme for:
    • Children
    • Teachers
    • Parents
    • Support staff
    • All other staff
    • Senior management
    • Governors
