E-Safety |
Welcome to the Birmingham E-safety pages. This site has been developed
to provide support and information for anyone accessing the Internet via
the Birmingham Grid for Learning. It aims to explain how the filtering
software works along with the issues facing adults and pupils when using
the Internet and new techologies. In addition, schools should ensure that
the roles, responsibilities, policies and proceedures are known
and understood by the whole school community to provide a safe
environment.
The DfES states: 'Pupils should be taught safe and
responsible behaviours when using the internet and related technologies,
and should develop the skills to evaluate the material they find and
become discriminating users of internet resources. '
Ref.:
http://safety.ngfl.gov.uk/schools/document.php3?D=d55
To
address this, Birmingham have produced the Smartsurfer materials
that will teach pupils the critical skills they need to use the Internet
safely and confidently.
