This document provides guidance on e-safety training and requirements. It discusses evaluating e-safety in a school setting using a self-assessment tool. Key aspects that should be addressed include training for all staff, governors, parents and students. Schools should ensure students understand e-safety policies and procedures and feel confident using technology safely.

For example… other e-safety factors: We don’t have any community access to our computers, maybe this is something we need to engage in… Home Access, Basic skills, Homework helper sessions, Governors training, VLE training for parents and Governors. √ We are at the beginning of our journey, however, have put action plans into SDP/SEF to achieve being leaders in our community Our local community have been trained in e-safety when using the schools equipment. √ We have a series of 6 lesson plans throughout the year for children, this is delivered through PHSE/Citizenship lessons Our children are very e-savvy and can also act as mentors. √ We are at the beginning of our journey, however, have put action plans into SDP/SEF to achieve being leaders in our community We are leaders of e-safety in our community, a training resource for other schools. √ Our priority is training the staff, training for Govs/Parents clearly needs to be included in the SDP/SEF ASAP As well as ALL staff having had training, so have our parents and governors. √ I am being trained today and will run a staff meeting to cascade training.

Training for E-Safety in our school community

5. So what will Ofsted say? All stakeholders have been trained; support staff, governors, parents, teachers and members of our local community where children attend e.g. CLCs, Libraries, youth centres. Children are e-safe savvy and confident to mentor beginners We have had a parents training session and the Governors were trained too. We can see the impact of all the staff being e-safe savvy; children are very e-safe savvy too; they know the pitfalls of using technology and are clearly avoiding them and asking for further advice Training has taken place for most of us. We are starting to see results in all classrooms Children feel secure when using ICT Some staff have been trained but there is little evidence of cascading information down consequently: There is little impact on what the children know or understand Training

9. So what happens when you get back to school…? When you return to school, the 360 tool gives you the option to add new contributors, in fact, it is essential you do this, as you are not in a position to comment on all aspects. For staff training: the tool comes with its own video tutorials, so, if you are feeling A little out of your depth, direct colleagues to the video tutorials.
