A school e-safety policy should ensure:
• restricted physical access to servers, wireless systems and cabling
• clearly defined access rights of users to technical systems and devices
• username and secure password for users
• filtered internet access for all users
• provisions for regular reviews and audits of the safety and security of school technical systems
• Acceptable Use Agreement
• An appropriate system is in place for users to report any actual / potential technical incident / security breach to the relevant person
• Appropriate security measures are in place to protect the servers, firewalls, routers, wireless systems, work stations, mobile devices etc from accidental or malicious attempts which might threaten the security of the school systems and data.
• The school infrastructure and individual workstations are protected by up to date virus software.
• An agreed policy is in place for the provision of temporary access of “guests” (eg trainee teachers) onto the school systems.
• An agreed policy is in place regarding the extent of personal use that users (staff / students / community users) and their family members are allowed on school devices that may be used out of school.
Effective regular monitoring is very important in ensuring e-safety.
