Update Your Staff On A Regular Basis
Technology changes very quickly. Staff and governors
need to know how young people are using it.
Ensure that ALL staff receive training on their
induction programme (teaching/non-teaching)
Appoint an eSafeguarding co-ordinator to lead on
issues around eSafety/eSecurity.

eSecurity
Schools hold important data about young people which
should only be accessed on a secure network.
Headteachers need to work with their ICT network
manager to create a policies and procedures.
Some of the important aspects of this are encrypting
removable data and changing passwords regularly.

Ensure You Target Vulnerable Groups
Make sure that you use intervention strategies to
look at eSafety for vulnerable students.
Use the INSAFE site (http://www.saferinternet.org) for EAL
students from East European countries.
Look at specific intervention work with Looked After
Children around Child Sexual Exploitation.

Engage With Parents
Most young people access the internet outside
school, increasingly on mobile devices.
Extend the curriculum beyond the classroom to
support parents using the VLE, school website etc.
Use school events e.g. parents assemblies to try
and engage with parents on the issue of eSafety.

Hold Events Around Specific Themes
Look at particular events in the school calendar Safer
Internet Day (Feb) and Anti-Bullying Week (Nov).
Use themed days in different curriculum areas to
promote eSafety message -
Look at other events in school to promote eSafety
message e.g. summer fair etc.

Create eSafety Peer Educators
You have social media experts in the school. Use
them to train others about online risks.
Look at older students running assemblies for
younger students or lunchtime clubs.
Investigate national schemes such as the
Cybermentors or Diana Award.

Embed eSafety Into The Curriculum
Need to embed the eSafety message regularly
from EYFS to Post 16.
Be creative with your curriculum. eSafety does not
have to be just an area covered in ICT, PHSE.
Look at using poems around cyberbullying in
english or looking at the accuracy of sources on
the internet in history.

Ensure You Update Your Policies On A Regular Basis
Policies are key to ensuring that staff and students
are safe when using the school network.
Key policies that schools should have are: Acceptable
User, eSafety, Social Media, Mobile Devices.
When creating policies, involve different stakeholders
including young people, so everyone has ownership.

Engage With Social Media
Using social media is a great way to communicate a
positive message about a school to the community.
If you set up a Facebook page or Twitter account,
make sure you carry out the correct risk assessments.
Some schools are using Ning to create social
networking communities amongst pupils.

Empower Your Students
Tanya Byron scenario of teaching your child to
swim is as relevant as ever.
Can’t ‘lock down’ systems and we need to enable
students to use this technology but know about the risks.
“We are preparing our students for jobs that don't
exist on technologies that haven't be invented.”
