Sexting ‘…sexting is defined as the production and/or sharing of sexual photos and videos of and by young people who are under the age of 18. It includes nude or nearly nude images and/or sexual acts. It is also referred to as ‘youth produced sexual imagery’. ’ ‘Sexting’ does not include the sharing of sexual photos and videos of under-18 year olds with or by adults. This is a form of child sexual abuse and must be referred to the police.’

5. NQT Online safety Sexting – all staff
What to do if an incident involving ‘sexting’ comes to your attention (UKCCIS)
Report it to your Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) immediately.
Never view, download or share the imagery yourself, or ask a child to share or download – this is illegal.
If you have already viewed the imagery by accident (e.g. if a young person has showed it to you before you could ask them not to), report this to the DSL.
Do not delete the imagery or ask the young person to delete it.
Do not ask the young person(s) who are involved in the incident to disclose information regarding the imagery. This is the responsibility of the DSL.
Do not share information about the incident to other members of staff, the young person(s) it involves or their, or other, parents and/or carers.
Do not say or do anything to blame or shame any young people involved.
Do explain to them that you need to report it and reassure them that they will receive support and help from the DSL.

Searching screening and confiscation – advice for headteachers, school staff and governing bodies

8. NQT Online safety Searching, screening and confiscation
School staff can search a pupil for any item if the pupil agrees.
Headteachers and staff authorised by them have a statutory power to search pupils or their possessions, without consent, where they have reasonable grounds for suspecting that the pupil may have a prohibited item.

9. NQT Online safety Searching, screening and confiscation
Prohibited items are:
knives or weapons
alcohol
illegal drugs
stolen items
tobacco and cigarette papers
fireworks
pornographic images
any article that the member of staff reasonably suspects has been, or is likely to be, used:
to commit an offence, or
to cause personal injury to, or damage to the property of, any person (including the pupil).
Headteachers and authorised staff can also search for any item banned by the school rules which has been identified in the rules as an item which may be searched for.

10. NQT Online safety
Searching, screening and confiscation ‘Where the person conducting the search finds an electronic device that is prohibited by the school rules or that they reasonably suspects has been, or is likely to be, used to commit an offence or cause personal injury or damage to property, they may examine any data or files on the device where there is a good reason to do so. They may also delete data or files if they think there is a good reason to do so, unless they are going to give the device to the police. This power applies to all schools and there is no need to have parental consent to search through a young person’s mobile phone if it has been seized in a lawful ‘without consent’ search and is prohibited by the school rules or is reasonably suspected of being, or being likely to be, used to commit an offence or cause personal injury or damage to property.’
