Point2Protect - keeping children safe
- 1. Keeping Children Safe The curriculum e-Safety solution for Schools and Parents
- 2. Contents • Children’s access to online content and social apps • How the curriculum and Ofsted are attempting to deal with this • Schools’ purchases of tablet devices going forward • Keeping children safe on those devices, in school and beyond • How Point2Protect can help
- 3. The whole world in their hands… …but how do we (a) keep them safe and (b) help them become sophisticated users of these powerful communication tools?
- 4. A growing problem? “Young people should be able to enjoy technology and social media without feeling under threat. Providers need to make it as easy to prohibit harmful messages or images as it is to share them.” NSPCC “The problem of 'sexting' - and the exposure of children to pornographic images through mobile devices - poses real and serious challenges for parents, head teachers and school staff. It exemplifies the way technology blurs the boundaries between school life and the wider world.“ National Association of Head Teachers
- 5. So let’s just block it at source! • David Cameron said in July 2013 he would force the big four ISP’s to enable parents to block access to dangerous content • The percentage of customers taking up the option for each service provider are as follows*: • Virgin Media - 4% • BT - 5% • Sky - 8% • TalkTalk - 36% *Ofcom July 2014
- 6. A child quoted in the Byron Review 2008 “Kids don’t need protection - we need guidance. If you protect us you are making us weaker. We won’t go through all the trial and error necessary to learn what we need to survive on our own…don’t fight our battles for us, just give us assistance when we need it.”
- 7. e-Safety in the curriculum • Only in 2009, after the Byron Review (2008) and Lord Laming’s Review (2009), does e-Safety start to appear in the KS3 and KS4 curriculum • Ofsted begin to consider e-Safety provision in inspections • Computing Programmes of Study for Sept 2014 include e-Safety from KS1 through to KS4 • This suggests that e-Safety should now be a taught subject in primary and secondary schools • But non-maintained schools aren’t required to adopt this
- 8. Computing Programmes of Study 2014 • Key Stage 1 - use technology safely and respectfully, keeping personal information private; identify where to go for help and support when they have concerns about content or contact on the internet or other online technologies. • Key Stage 2 - use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly; recognise acceptable/unacceptable behaviour; identify a range of ways to report concerns about content and contact. • Key Stage 3 - understand a range of ways to use technology safely, respectfully, responsibly and securely, including protecting their online identity and privacy; recognise inappropriate content, contact and conduct and know how to report concerns. • Key Stage 4 - understand how changes in technology affect safety, including new ways to protect their online privacy and identity, and how to identify and report a range of concerns.
- 9. Ofsted inspection criteria • School should offer (among other things): • All teaching and non-teaching staff receive regular and up-to-date training • An age-appropriate e-safety curriculum teaching pupils how to stay safe and take responsibility for their own and others’ safety. Uses positive rewards and peer mentoring programmes • Recognised Internet Service Provider (ISP) or Regional Broadband Consortium (RBC) together with age- related filtering that is actively monitored
- 10. Devices, devices, devices… • By 2020 schools expect tablets to make up over 50% of their ICT hardware* • iOS and Android are the most popular tablet options • Smartphones in schools mainly Android with fewer iPhones *BESA research 2014
- 13. Mobile phones - Daily Mail September 2008 “Academics* are calling on schools to rethink bans on phone handsets after trials suggested that functions such as calculators, stopwatches and email can be 'educational'. However, the call is certain to infuriate many teachers and parents, who will be concerned that pupils will be unable to resist the temptation to put the devices to less productive uses, such as cyber-bullying or cheating in tests.” The Daily Mail view *University of Nottingham study for BECTA
- 14. Smartphone dangers • Almost 1 in 5 children say they have seen something on their phone that has upset them • Over 20% of parents admit they aren’t really aware of what their children do online • While 90% of parents claim to have spoken to their children about online dangers, most allow unsupervised access to the internet BBC Learning Poll 2013 • “A common misconception that smartphones and tablets don’t need the same level of protection as a PC.” Kaspersky Labs 2014
- 15. Typical e-Safety in schools 2014 • Increasing spend on tablet computers with little idea how they’re being used in school and no idea out of school • Most schools ban the use of pupils’ mobile phones on their premises • School network web-filtering used to block, stop and defend • Teachers often have an single annual e-Safety CPD course • Very little formal e-Safety teaching for pupils • Parents aren’t engaged apart from agreeing an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) that they probably don’t even read properly
- 16. Two key areas to be addressed • Security • Filtering for mobile devices in school, on and off domain • Schools should be able to control app-usage on tablets and phones, on and off domain • School-owned devices should be protected whether in school or at home • BYOD needs to be included in this secure environment • e-Safety • New AUPs are required with proper buy-in from parents and pupils • Schools need to understand how tablets are being used, on and off domain • Understanding needs to lead to engagement with pupils • Parents need to be given the option to join the party
- 17. Point2Protect – a new service for schools • Qustodio for Schools • Filtering and app scheduling by profile on tablets and smart phones, on and off domain • Summary reporting on devices by group (i.e. year 7 tablets) or detail on any single device • Provides understanding without intrusive detail (i.e. doesn’t read text messages, etc.) • UK Safer Internet Centre • Templates for new AUP for schools • Templates for communication to the school community • Guidance for SMT and Governors on e-Safety • Guidance for teachers on understanding and engaging with pupils • Guidance for parents that schools can pass on
- 18. Point2Protect - the parent link • Schools can give parents full access to their children’s data • Parents can choose to extend security and scheduling across all devices at home, creating their own usage profile • UK SIC guidance specifically aimed at parental engagement with children
Notas del editor
- Smartphones in primary years 5 and 6 now not uncommon. 90% of secondary students expected to bring a mobile phone to school.
- The dilemma is often ‘how do we keep children safe while helping them become more mature, sophisticated users of these devices?’ There’s a recognition that you can’t, like King Canute, command the waves of questionable online content to recede. It’s out there and children will be exposed to it, so what do we do?
- This quote encapsulates the issue quite clearly. Prof. Tanya Byron gave an analogy about teaching a child to cross the road. We know it’s dangerous and we know that at some point they’ll have to do it alone. So what’s the process and when do we trust them to cross without us holding their hand?
- Only very recently has e-Safety been included in the National Curriculum and nothing’s gone as far as the new 2014 requirements.
- It’s clear from the programmes of study how pupils are expected to develop their judgement and responsibility through the key stages, but how exactly do we expect this to happen? Surely it suggests that e-Safety should be a taught subject and that schools need a clear strategy for encouraging this progression.
- Clearly e-Safety is important enough for Ofsted to inspect performance and it’s an essential signal of an outstanding school. However, there’s no evidence that Ofsted are aware of the issues generated by the fastest growing technology in schools today – mobile computing.
- Interesting that many schools still ban the use of mobile phones but they’re giving pupils tablet computers as quickly as they can afford to. They clear see one as a problem and the other as a benefit, but in fact they’re almost identical in functionality.
- By security here they may be talking about the fear of having them stolen rather than children’s security, but management is also part of the equation.
- This is interesting. Primary schools in particular want to own the devices themselves and even secondary schools would rather own themselves than have parents pay. Leasing schemes still have a bad name in schools.
- No surprise about the line that the Daily Mail takes on this. It’s interesting that this is two years before the first iPads were released and the world went tablet-crazy. However, although tablets are changing the technology landscape in schools the attitude to smartphones hasn’t changed at all. Even when proof is produced via research that mobile phones are a cost-effective and available educational tool for schools, the fear of losing control keeps them unused.
- This is my characterisation based on discussions with teachers and the available research.
- One important thing to remember: once Q4S is installed on a device it will keep working when they take that device home. There may be legal issues with the reporting aspect of this, but the majority of parents would surely welcome that fact that their children wouldn’t be able to access pornography, or drug web sites, or extreme violence, on those devices. Having a basic filtering profile in place 24/7 on these devices has got to be a good thing, for both schools and parents.
- The ideal is a really good relationship between the school and the parent, with both understanding and accepting their responsibilities for protecting and educating the child, and both having access to the tools and information they need to achieve this.
