Esafety policy for children

[themcster]

Working on updating esafety policy. Anyone out there got any great E-Safety policies for the children that can be shared? [emoji5]

I got some good tips and ended up copying pasting parts of other schools policy by searching through school websites in your area or even across the country. You can see most are much alike but some may have adapted a idea which may stand out from the others.

Worth a shot

I suggest you start with a sticky thread from our very own eSafety forum

Online Safety Policy Template & Guidance - Updated for Sept 2017

 

And for acceptable use policies we have this thread

If you want a policy specifically for children, then I'd recommend involving your pupils in creating and writing it. Obviously that can be a bit more difficult for a primary or infant school, but can be overcome by using pupil councils etc. This will help give them a sense of ownership over the policy, which then means they are more likely to follow it! Also it's likely to be much shorter and more accessible, so it will be helpful to share throughout your community.

 

We have some suggestions to cover in a child friendly policy in our online safety policy guidance (appendix 3).
