Responsible E-safety Behaviours
At Redwell we take the safety of our pupils very seriously. Alongside teaching about the importance of e-safety and learning about our actions online we expect our school community to agree to follow these rules help us to be safe whilst using ICT equipment and the internet:
- I understand that I am responsible for my own behaviour.
- I will log out of my device when it is no longer being used.
- I will keep my username and password private and not share it with others.
- I will not purposely access, create or display any material that may upset others.
- I will not share personal information about myself, or anyone else.
- I will not knowingly access any inappropriate/age restricted content.
- I will not respond to negative or inappropriate email messages - I will report them to a trusted adult.
- I will make sure that I speak to a trusted adult should I find something that concerns or worries me.
I understand that my school uses a monitoring and filtering system called Securly and understand that my use of ICT on my school account can be checked both in and outside of school.
Online activity which we consider inappropriate for our school community:
- Identifying or posting images/videos of children
- Abusive or personal comments about staff, governors, children or other parents
- Bringing the school in disrepute
- Posting defamatory or libellous comments
- Emails circulated or sent directly with abusive or personal comments about staff or children
- Using social media to publicly challenge school policies or discuss issues about individual children or members of staff
- Threatening behaviour, such as verbally intimidating staff, or using bad language
- Breaching school security procedures
