Please see our Online safety Policy for details of how we teach the children how to use devises safely and effectively. 

The purpose of this online safety policy is to:

• • Safeguard and protect all members of Eyam Primary School community online.
  • Identify approaches to educate and raise awareness of online safety throughout the community.
  • Enable all staff t work safely and responsibly, to role model positive behaviour online and to manage professional standards and practice when using technology.
  • Identify clear procedures to use when responding to online safety concerns.

This school identifies that the issues classified within online safety are considerable, but can be broadly categorised into three areas of risk:

• • Content: being exposed to illegal, inappropriate or harmful material
  • Contact: being subjected t harmful online interaction with other users
  • Conduct: personal online behaviour that increases the likelihood of, or causes, harm.
