Use it to set guidelines and rules for the acceptable use of ICT and the internet in your school. Our policy has been approved by Forbes Solicitors and covers staff, governors, pupils and parents. It also includes:
- Guidelines for school staff on using Facebook
- A parent agreement on communicating with the school that covers the use of private email, chat or social media groups
- Acceptable use agreements for staff, younger pupils and older pupils
- Advice on how to protect your school from cyber attacks, including a glossary
We developed this policy with Karen Mitchell, one of our associate experts.
