TARAŞCI ŞEHİT OKAN ALTIPARMAK ORTAOKULU ÇEVRİMİÇİ GÜVENLİK POLİTİKASI
6.2 Engagement and education of children and young people considered to be vulnerable
Taraşcı Secondary School is aware that some children may be considered to be more
vulnerable online due to a range of factors.
6.3 Engagement and education of staff
The online safety (e-Safety) policy will be formally provided to and discussed with all
members of staff as part of induction and will be reinforced and highlighted as part of our
safeguarding responsibilities.
Staff will be made aware that our Internet traffic can be monitored and traced to the
individual user. Discretion and professional conduct is essential when using school systems
and devices.
Up-to-date and appropriate staff training in safe and responsible Internet use, both
professionally and personally, will be provided for all members of staff in a variety of ways,
on a regular (at least annual) basis.
All members of staff will be made aware that their online conduct out of school could have
an impact on their role and reputation within school. Civil, legal or disciplinary action could
be taken if they are found to bring the profession or institution into disrepute, or if
something is felt to have undermined confidence in their professional abilities.
Members of staff with a responsibility for managing filtering systems or monitor ICT use will
be supervised by the Leadership Team and will have clear procedures for reporting issues or
concerns.
The school/setting will highlight useful online tools which staff should use according to the
age and ability of the pupils.
6.4 Engagement and education of parents and carers
Taraşcı Secondary School recognise that parents/carers have an essential role to play in
enabling children to become safe and responsible users of the internet and digital
technology.
Parents’ attention will be drawn to the school online safety (e-Safety) policy and
expectations in newsletters, school boards and on the school website.
A partnership approach to online safety at home and at school with parents will be
encouraged. This may include offering parent evenings with demonstrations and
suggestions for safe home Internet use or highlighting online safety at other well
attended events e.g. parent evenings, transition events, fetes and sports days.
Parents will be requested to read online safety information as part of the Home School
Agreement.
Parents will be encouraged to read the school Acceptable Use Policy for pupils and
discuss its implications with their children.
Information and guidance for parents on online safety will be made available to parents
in a variety of formats.
