What should schools be doing?

• Principles Have Acceptable Use Policies for
  all staff and pupils which are regularly
  reviewed and consistently applied. Have clear
  guidelines with appropriate sanctions. Make
  sure the whole school community is involved
  through regular eSafety discussions.
• Infrastructure Keep virus and firewall software
  up to-date on all machines. HGfL provides
  filtered and monitored access.
• Education Celebrate the positive impact of ICT
  whilst being mindful of eSafety. Use safe
  search options and always check links before
  using in the classroom. Make sure eSafety
  is embedded in the wider curriculum for all
  ages. Work with parents and carers to raise
  awareness.
• Systems Use professional tools i.e. school
  based email. Be aware that all use of the
  schools ICT systems can be monitored, tracked
  and this information can be made available.
