Ofsted Inspection Framework Sept 2012Indicators of inadequate practice

•Personal data is often unsecured and/or leaves school site without encryption.

•Password security is ineffective - passwords are shared or common with all but the youngest children.

•Policies are generic and not updated.

•There is no progressive, planned E-Safety education across the curriculum, for example there is only an assembly held annually.

•There is no internet filtering or monitoring.

•There is no evidence of staff training.

•Children are not aware of how to report a problem.

“The survey results showed that whilst awareness of the law was broadly good, knowledge on how to comply with it wasn’t always there. In many respects that should come as no surprise – it’s not teachers’ area of expertise – and it is precisely what our report is aiming to address.”
