E-Safety BasicsManaging E-Safety

1. OFSTED Framework

2. National Curriculum

3. Targeting the need

E-Safety BasicsWhat 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

E-Safety BasicsWhat 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,
