What exactly is eSafety?

eSafety is:

Teaching our children the safe and responsible use of ALL

technology

eSafety – Summing up the risks

• Content – Internet use: Inappropriate/ unreliable/plagiarism i.e. safety of children’s minds

• Commerce - scams, phishing, downloads which steal information– even on ‘educational websites’

• Contact - via interactive technologies –DS multiplayer games, Fronter

• Culture – blogging, social networking …cyber -

bullying,

Why is education so important in this area?

1.93% of all 5-15 year olds used the internet in 2013

2. Technology has become an

integral part of education

Safeguarding our pupils is key:

Ofsted says : A good school ‘integrates issues about safety

and safeguarding into the curriculum so that pupils have

a strong understanding of how to keep themselves safe. ‘

Gillespie’s approach to eSafety

• Policy, practise and Curriculum

• AUP (Acceptable Use Policy)

• Anti-bullying week

• SID (Safer Internet Day)

• Hardware/software

SAFE – Keep safe by being careful not to give out personal

information – including full name and email address - to people

who you don’t trust online.

MEETING – Meeting up with someone you have only been in touch with

online can be dangerous. Only do so with your parent’s/carer’s permission

and even then only when they can be present.

ACCEPTING – Accepting e-mails, IM messages or opening files

from people you don’t know can be dangerous – they may contain

viruses or nasty messages!

RELIABLE – Someone online may be lying about who they are,

and information you find on the internet may not be true. Check

information and advice on other websites, in books or ask someone

who may know.

TELL – Tell your parent/carer or teacher if someone or

something makes you feel uncomfortable or worried, or you or

someone you know is being cyberbullied.

SMART rules

Anti-bullying week and Safer Internet day 2014

Over to the children...

Ideas for home eSafety

☺ Practical principles Talk with, NOT at your children. Agree family guidelines and rules. Discuss regularly online safety.

☺ Infrastructure Virus and firewall software up to-date, Browser ‘safe search’ enabled.

☺ Education Learn together about new technologies and enjoy! Reflect together about new technologies,pros and cons

☺Systems Keep webcams in family rooms Monitor time spent on the internet View the ‘History’ or purchase filtering software. Have proportionate responses to problems.

Your child will not tell you about a problem if they feel their access to the technologies will be restricted.

and finally remember

‘..the risks do not merit a moral panic, and nor do they warrant seriously restricting children’s internet use because this would deny them the many benefits of the internet. Indeed, there are real costs to lacking internet access or sufficient skills to use

it.’

‘However, the risks are nonetheless widespread, they are experienced by many children as worrying or problematic, and they do warrant serious intervention by government, educators,

industry and parents.’
