Computer AUP

[MattDLEA]

Hi Just looking for some guidence on Computer AUP's

 

Computer AUP's is there anything legally we are required to put into these or that we cant put in? From a brief look at some sites I cant see anything definitive on this.

 

We have one for pupils, staff and visitors.

 

Is there any other important docs I need to be looking at to?

The updated 2016 online safety policy template is supported with updated guidance to enable education leaders and mangers consider policy decisions and implement action which best suits the needs of their own community. The 2016 template builds upon the foundations laid by previous editions and incorporates new content and is provided as a framework to support schools and other settings when writing and updating online safety policies.

 

New content includes:

 

• New and updated discussion material for leaders and managers in relation to establishing appropriate policies and procedures.
  
• New content regarding the key online safety responsibilities for members of the school/setting community.
  
• New content regarding social media.
  
• Updated content and guidance regarding the use of mobile phones and personal devices
  
• Updated information regarding local and national contacts and resources regarding online safety and updated information about relevant legislation.
  
• Additional appendices with suggested procedures regarding common online safety concerns including sexting, cyberbullying, online child sexual abuse and exploitation, radicalisation and indecent images.
  

 

This policy and guidance is very highly regarded at national level

Many do. I refer them on to @esafety_officer if I'm not sure. She's kind of busy this week for Safer Internet Day reasons though!

My recommendation to schools is that they include a password policy that includes staff and pupils. Edited February 10, 2016 by elsiegee40

Happy to help if I can, but yes, this week is a busy one!

 

Our website has template Acceptable Use Policies and online safety policies for schools and other educational settings to use and adapt which cover a range of issues.
