eResponsibility The internet is a wonderful information resource which opens up new opportunities for learning, however online learners should be aware of the potential dangers. Esafety is something no educational establishment can ignore it is concerned with the safeguarding of people in the digital world and ensuring they feel safe when accessing new technology. I think eSafety is about educating all stakeholders to identify and assess potential risks. Once informed they can then use new technologies in a safe/ responsible way safe in the knowledge they know what to so if things go wrong.

Drivers behind eSafety Drivers  OFSTED (resulting in a limiting grade if not done properly)  Government reforms - Every Child Matters  Byron Review  Legislation (Children Act 2004, Sexual Discrimination Act, Race Relations Act, Data Protection Act)  Moral and ethical duty  Fear factor?

Managing Risk Typical risks attributed to online activity.  Identify theft  Fraud  Damage professional reputation  Physical or emotional harm  Copyright infringement  Cyberbullying  Assess to or creation of inappropriate content Go to View > Header & Footer to edit October 12, 2014 | slide 7

Inspectorate Expectations Ofsted Handbook for inspection A3 ‘How safe do learners feel?’ (page 48) C3. How effectively does the provider promote the safeguarding of learners? (p64) Go to View > Header & Footer to edit October 12, 2014 | slide 8

Inspectorate Expectations Common Themes The Learner: Extent to which  learners use safe working practices in learning and at work  learners say they feel safe. Inspectors should take into account where relevant  learners’ understanding and use of internet safety measures  learners’ understanding of abuse, discrimination, bullying and harassment and what action to take if they occur  the extent to which learners’ complaints about safety-related matters have been rapidly and effectively tackled… Go to View > Header & Footer to edit October 12, 2014 | slide 9

Inspectorate Expectations Common Themes The Organisation To make their judgements, inspectors will evaluate the extent to which:  learners are safeguarded and protected  Staff take action to identify and respond appropriately to users’ welfare concerns  Safeguarding is prioritised  Providers work together with agencies and professionals to safeguard learners.  The extent all learning and development sites provide a safe learning environment and safe working practices are promoted.  Whether, when a learner reports abuse, the provider has taken appropriate action. Go to View > Header & Footer to edit October 12, 2014 | slide 10

Inspectorate Expectations Common Themes The Organisation  How well the provider ensures that appropriate safeguarding training has taken place for all stakeholders  If policies on bullying and discrimination are effectively implemented  The extent to which all learning and development sites provide a safe learning environment and safe working practices are promoted in training and at work  Whether the curriculum includes understanding of bullying, abuse and internet safety. Go to View > Header & Footer to edit October 12, 2014 | slide 11

Inspectorate Expectations Good Practice  eSafety provision includes all stakeholders and is embedded within all curriculum areas.  Training is systematically planned and learners are helped to assess the risks of accessing online resources.  Training programmes are systematically reviewed and updated. Evaluations are regularly carried out and feedback is provided.  A core team for eSafety is used to establish clear policies and procedures.  e-Safety is outstanding where the institution manages systems rather than locking them down.  All stakeholders are aware of eSafety policies and procedures.

Activity (5 minutes). Using the chat area located on the left hand side on the screen answer the following questions. Start you answer with either Q1 or Q2, for example: Q1 All staff have valid CRB certification.  Q1 What do Ofsted want to see?  Q2 What can we do to promote awareness of eSafety issues and what can we do to reduce risk? Go to View > Header & Footer to edit October 12, 2014 | slide 13

Activity 1 sample answers  Strong leadership  Clearly defined responsibilities and ethos  Empowering the user to become e-responsible  Staff Training – Indicators and procedures  Checks and policies in place across provision  Robust risk assessment and rationale  Clearly visible reporting processes  Working with safeguarding boards Go to View > Header & Footer to edit October 12, 2014 | slide 14

Taking a strategic approach The PIES model is an effective framework for approaching safeguarding strategy across a range of learning provision. More information is available on the Excellence Gateway. PIES uses the following categories to approach all the areas and activities on which e-safety will impinge: Excellence Gateway  Policy and Practice  Infrastructure and Technology  Education and Training  Standards and Inspection The PIES model offers a simple way of mitigating against risks through a combination of effective policies and practice, a robust and secure technology infrastructure, and education and training for learners and employees alike. The model helps organisations develop e-safety within a safeguarding strategy. Go to View > Header & Footer to edit October 12, 2014 | slide 15

October 12, 2014 | slide 16 Implementing e-safety across an organisation  Management will need to ensure that e-responsibility considerations are integrated into all areas of practice, for example: 1. Management procedures 2. Development and dissemination of policies and procedures 3. Integration into learning & teaching practice 4. Staff recruitment and staff development 5. Resources available - for staff and learners 6. Self assessment 7. Integration into infrastructure and technical developments

Challenges ahead  Lack of visual indicators.  Cultural Background  Language  Comprehension / Competency  Access to the Internet (who is in control)?  Age 18+  Keeping to date. Staff, Parents, Carers.  A lack of guidance as to how to do it and of age-appropriate materials for teaching learners to be safe on line – this is still a problem. Can you name anymore?.

Raising Awareness  When and where to start? –Start now, its never to late! –Start during induction. –Build eSafety into the curriculum Quizzes Role play Scenario activities Safety checks (Face Book) Publications (posters, leaflets, postcards). –Get carers, family members, Guardians involved  At what level, in what format? –Language has to be understood –Make it easy to read in bit sized chunks Go to View > Header & Footer to edit October 12, 2014 | slide 18

Include learners, teaching staff and IT staff, and consider inviting parents, members of the wider community and Governors to attend. 3. Audit current e-safety measures and identify weaknesses and areas for development. There are online resources to help you do this. We have included some of these in our links tab.links.
