And : https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6a2fbb99d95ffddb05d4b014/UAP1_2205_PR.pdf I am curious to know the approach that will be taken regarding education especially regarding YouTube. So as this develops further and becomes law, feel free to update this post with any bits of info you see. Many thanks

Hoping that someone can help me out here with some ideas. We tweet out images of the school's day to day activities with the children. Currently, a staff member will snap an image, mail it over to the headmaster for "approval" and he will go ahead and post it with a bit of blurb. This year they also want to start doing short videos as well. I'm not loving the workflow we have going here. Having to email each post for approval to then be tweeted in turn is a pain in itself, including video files shot on an iPad the process is overly cumbersome. How do other schools handle the flow of social media content? Cheers

We have just be asked about setting a school Tiktok account for a department so that they can post videos with exam revision. Something about this seams wrong to us, given the other content of the platform is not always age appropriate. So it has got us thinking what Social Media platforms do other schools activity promote for their students, if any at all?

We've recently been contacted by a parent asking if there is a simple way to block sites at home, just like they're blocked by our filtering system at the school. Of course, our iPads are in an MDM, Jamf specifically, and I've had a quick look but couldn't see any way of blacklisting sites through there (if anyone could prove me wrong that would be brilliant). Does anyone have a solution to this query? This would of course be helpful for the school, but we can't think of an easy way to get this implemented, other than giving parents guidance on individual home network providers. Any help at all is welcome. Thank you

Hi everyone, First-time poster here. We are running into a bit of trouble with one of the courses that one of our IT teachers is running. They are running an a-level course this year and to complete it the students will need to run a social media campaign. The deadline is looming and the IT teacher is starting to panic, SLT are remaining quiet, and we (techs) are being pressured into making things happen. Now, social media sites are all filtered, so we are tying to figure out how to allow access to them, but restrict it to lesson time only. We obviously don't want to blanket-allow all students access as that would be chaos. We have toyed with two ideas: Individually allowing each of the student's normal profile to bypass the RM SafetyNet filter using the staff proxy. But this would mean enabling and then disabling this for each student, every week at the start and end of the lesson. Creating new, blank profiles that we can assign to students and have them constantly unfiltered, but blocking the accounts (in AD, en masse) whenever the lesson is not running, to stop the students from logging on outside of lesson. It is an Edexcel course and this is the criteria the students need to meet: 3/BC.D3 Demonstrate individual responsibility, creativity, and effective self-management in the planning and use of social media in a business context. 3/C.M3 Optimise the content, format and features of social media which meet the requirements of the plan. 3/C.P5 Produce business-related content using appropriate features of social media which meet the requirements of the plan. 3/C.P6 Review data obtained on social media usage and interaction. Has anyone out there had any experience with doing this kind of thing, maybe even with this course? Oh, and to make things worse, our enterprise provider is changing our ISP this Thursday 2nd Feb (Monday 30th Jan today), which will bring with it a new piece of filtering software (that we haven't had hands-on with yet) called NetSweeper. If anyone could give us a heads up with this new filter and if we can do what we want more simply, that would be fab. Thanks everyone, a bit of a stinker, I know! James
