Online Safety and Child Protection and Safeguarding

Our Safeguarding policies and Online AUP
This will be sent to all pupils on seesaw and will go through on Friday in assembly.
Acceptable Use Agreement
I agree to use the school’s digital systems, devices and online services safely and responsibly to protect me, other learners and the school.
Keeping Safe Online

  • The school will check how I use devices and online services to keep everyone safe.
  • I will keep my usernames and passwords private and tell a trusted adult if someone else knows them.
  • I will be careful when talking to people online and will only talk to people I know and trust.
  • I will not share personal information like my name, address, or photos without asking a trusted adult.
  • I will only take or share images of myself, or others, when fully dressed.
  • If I see or hear something online that worries or upsets me, I will tell a trusted adult straight away.
  • I will only meet people I have spoken to online if a trusted adult is with me.

Using Devices and Online Services Sensibly

  • I will only use devices, apps, games and websites that my teacher or parent/carer says are suitable for my age.
  • I know that I am not allowed to use some online services and I know what they are.
  • I will always ask permission and check with a trusted adult before using someone else’s work or pictures.
  • I will make sure the information I find online is true by checking carefully.
  • I will only use apps or tools, like AI, that my teacher has said are OK, and I will ask for help if I’m unsure.
  • I will not copy or use music, videos, or games unless I have permission.
  • I will tell a trusted adult about any damage to devices or if anything else goes wrong.
  • I will check with trusted adults before clicking on any unexpected messages or links (even if these look as though they are from people that I already know).

Being Respectful and Responsible

  • I will treat others kindly online, just as I do in real life.
  • I will make good choices about what I share online to protect myself and others.
  • I understand that not every app or website is suitable for children my age.
  • If I want to join a new app, game or online community, I will speak to a trusted adult first.
  • I will spend a healthy amount of time using devices and make time for other activities too.
  • I will always think about how my behaviour online could affect me, my friends, and my school.
  • If I make a mistake online, I know I can ask a trusted adult for help

What Happens If I Break These Rules?

  • If I don’t follow these rules, my teacher may stop me from using computers or devices, speak to my parents, or take other actions to help me make better choices in the future.

By following these rules, I can enjoy using technology safely and responsibly.
I have read and understand the above and agree to follow these guidelines when:

  • I use the school systems and devices (both in and out of school)
  • I use my own devices in the school (when allowed) e.g. mobile phones, gaming devices USB devices, cameras etc.
  • I am out of school and involved in any online behaviour that might affect the school or other members of the school.
