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.

Inspectorate Expectations

Ofsted Handbook for inspection http://goo.gl/YpLa0

A3 ‘How safe do learners feel?’ (page 48)

C3. How effectively does the provider promote the safeguarding of learners? (p64)


Inspectorate Expectations Common Themes

The Learner:

Extent to which learners use safe working practices in learning and at worklearners say they feel safe.

Inspectors should take into account where relevantlearners’ understanding and use of internet safety measureslearners’ understanding of abuse, discrimination, bullying and harassment and what action to take if they occurthe extent to which learners’ complaints about safety-related matters have been rapidly and effectively tackled…



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 concernsSafeguarding is prioritisedProviders 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.



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.


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?


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


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:

Policy and PracticeInfrastructure and TechnologyEducation and TrainingStandards 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.



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

10 eSafety Top Tips

1. Appoint someone to have overall responsibility for e-safety, ideally a senior member of staff with child protection training.

2. Establish an e-Safety Committee representing all stakeholders in the institution. 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.

.


10 eSafety Top Tips

4. Write an e-safety policy that uses appropriate language, reflects your college community and is in line with existing updated policies. Refer to JISC Legal’s e-Safety Policy Checklist.

5. Establish consistent risk assessment procedures for the use of technology in learning. This should apply to activities both on and off campus

6. Provide an easily accessible grid, or flow chart, detailing relevant behaviours and sanctions where appropriate.

7. Have a clear, consistent, proportionate and well publicised incident response and reporting procedure in place.


10 eSafety Top Tips

8. Schedule training and an education programme to promote safe and responsible behaviours, raise awareness of the institution’s e-safety rules and explain how to report an incident or raise concerns.

9. Provide opportunities for feedback, support and further guidance.

10. Build in time to monitor effectively the impact of your e safety measures and policies and respond accordingly.
