PS I'm starting to think we need an e-Safety board

I second that suggestion. There are some good lists out there already such as Becta's safetynet list.

We had an Ofsted a short while back and that never happened. Not that it would have been a problem if it did as we do a lot of E-safety. As the Internet Safety officer and IT/Network Manager Ofsted never spoke to me.

Same here apart from having one in my office to use our backup Internet as the 3G dongles they use stop working I didn't get much questioning, I had a quick one more an in-passing when they asked for IT Support to look at the 3G dongle but that was about it, maybe that was good enough

[Pottsey]

For us it was two days. Well one and a half days inspections and half a day writing the report
