360 degree safe self review tool

9. Our E-safety questions
•
• Are students aware of how to stay safe?
• Are our staff aware of new technology?
• What about placement locations,
employers, contractors?
• Was the college safe – litigation, financial,
reputation

10. The Challenge
• Addressing the increased cases of cyber bullying,
harassment, CSE etc
• Meeting our legal and statutory duties relating to ICT
• Identifying all of the across college areas we would need
to consider such as our hosting liability and data
protection
• Creating and completing an comprehensive action plan

11. The Solution
360 degree safe self review tool
It’s free to access!
Provides subject areas (top line and in detail)
Provides action plan as you go
Identifies AFIs and best practices
Is online so a whole college approach is possible
Compares your own responses to others who have completed
it

12. Areas for review
Each
element has
strands.
Each strand
has aspects.

13. Results
• Improved areas across the college relating to e-safety
and safeguarding including
– Information mechanisms available to parents, students,
visitors, contractors & employers
– Contemporary training for staff, students and governors
– Logging of issues (including CEOP on VLE) & monitoring
actions by EDIMs
– Reporting processes

14. Impact
• Annual detailed action plan
• E-safety safeguarding officer maintains & shares up to
date knowledge
• Recognised kitemark
• Staff confidence in policies and practices

15. Future plans
• Annual review
• Learners in subject specialist areas to lead on the action
plan (eg. ICT, Childcare, teacher training, Student Union)
• Use the structure of the tool to analyse other areas of the
college eg. Welfare
• Share best practices as requested
