Child Friendly ICT Acceptable Usage Policy

[Zoom7000]

Does anyone have a template for a primary school child friendly ICT Acceptable Usage Policy. Something for the younger kids that isn't too daunting, no big complicated words and something that is also parent friendly for parents who in the majority have English as a 2nd and not so strong in the understanding of the language.

More policies/e-safety resources free to use for UK schools.

SWGfL are an appalling ISP but fantastic at e-safety.

We have posters which some schools are using/adapting as AUPs here

 

The best approach I've found is to find a template to start with and then involve pupils directly (school councils or in class/tutor time etc) in creating a child friendly version which is specific to your school/setting. The AUP is then much more likely to be followed and becomes useful and purposeful documents.
