  4. eResponsibility 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. eSafety = eResponsibility Go to View > Header & Footer to edit

  5. Drivers behind eSafety Drivers • Education Act 2011 • OFSTED (resulting in a limiting grade if not done properly) • Government reforms - Every Child Matters • Byron Review http://goo.gl/Z6VZh • Legislation (Children Act 2004, Sexual Discrimination Act, Race Relations Act, Data Protection Act) • Moral and ethical duty • Fear factor?

  6. Inspectorate Expectations Currently poor performance for Safeguarding will result on an overall limiting grade! This will change in September 2012. 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) Go to View > Header & Footer to edit

  7. Inspectorate Expectations Common Themes The Learner: Extent to which • learners use safe working practices in learning and at work • learners say they feel safe. Inspectors should take into account where relevant • learners’ understanding and use of internet safety measures • learners’ understanding of abuse, discrimination, bullying and harassment and what action to take if they occur • the extent to which learners’ complaints about safety-related matters have been rapidly and effectively tackled… Go to View > Header & Footer to edit

  8. Inspectorate Expectations Common Themes 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 concerns • Safeguarding is prioritised • Providers 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.

  9. Inspectorate Expectations Common Themes 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.

  10. 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.

  11. What Ofsted would to see • 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 Go to View > Header & Footer to edit

  12. 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 Practice • Infrastructure and Technology • Education and Training • Standards 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. Go to View > Header & Footer to edit

  13. Implementing e-safety across an organisation • Management will need to ensure that e-responsibility considerations are integrated into all areas of practice, for example: • Management procedures • Development and dissemination of policies and procedures • Integration into learning & teaching practice • Staff recruitment and staff development • Resources available - for staff and learners • Self assessment • Integration into infrastructure and technical developments www.rsc-wm.ac.uk

  14. Challenges ahead • Meeting Inspectorate expectations. • Adequate staff training • Lack of visual indicators • Cultural Background • Language barriers • Comprehension / Competency of Learners and staff. • 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? • A lack of age-appropriate materials for teaching learners to be safe on line – this is still a problem.

  15. 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 Go to View > Header & Footer to edit

  17. Every Tutor Matters • Identity Management • Pseudonym • Profile information reduced or hidden. • Use groups or pages to control your information • Professional Reputation • Assess the risk JISC Legal Web2.0 checklist • Keep all work based communications professional • Make your friends and family aware of the potential consequences of posting inappropriate content. • Never use your own personal device to photograph or video you learners • When using work devices to photograph or video you learners store the content appropriately and delete when appropriate.

  18. 10 eSafety Top Tips • Appoint someone to have overall responsibility for e-safety, ideally a senior member of staff with child protection training. •  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. •  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.  . Go to View > Header & Footer to edit

  19. 10 eSafety Top Tips • 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’se-Safety Policy Checklist. •  Establish consistent risk assessment procedures for the use of technology in learning. This should apply to activities both on and off campus • Provide an easily accessible grid, or flow chart, detailing relevant behaviours and sanctions where appropriate. •  Have a clear, consistent, proportionate and well publicised incident response and reporting procedure in place.

  20. 10 eSafety Top Tips • 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. •  Provide opportunities for feedback, support and further guidance. •  Build in time to monitor effectively the impact of your e safety measures and policies and respond accordingly.
