Ofsted and e-Safety November 5, 2010 | slide Relevance for e-safety In terms of e-safety, Ofsted guidance shows a clear requirement to keep learners safe when using technology in the organisational setting. For FE and skills learners this will also extend beyond the organisational setting, as many learners will receive their education through other learning settings or work-based training providers also. Ofsted will assess how well FE and skills providers work with employers to ensure that appropriate arrangements are in place for safeguarding learners up to age 18 and vulnerable adults (as defined in the Vetting and Barring Scheme ) on employers’ premises. The guidance also underlines the importance of equipping learners with the skills and knowledge to keep themselves safe whenever and wherever they go online. This, in turn, will help them to feel safe – something inspectors assess. http://www.nextgenerationlearning.org.uk

What that means in practice…. November 5, 2010 | slide
In FE and skills settings, Inspectors will evaluate the extent to which:
learners are safeguarded and protected
staff take action to identify and respond appropriately to
users’ welfare concerns
safeguarding is prioritised
providers work together with agencies and professionals
effectively to safeguard learners.

Safe Use of New Technologies OFSTED Report November 5, 2010 | slide On 10th Feb 2010 Ofsted published the ‘Safe use of new technologies’ report. This is a report based on 35 one day e-safety inspections that have been carried out in a variety of school settings. The report discusses the findings of the 35 inspections and examines the features of schools that had outstanding practice as well as ones that were found to have unsatisfactory practice. You can download and read the report from here .

Safe Use of Technologies Key Recommendations November 5, 2010 | slide Audit the training needs of all staff and provide training to improve their knowledge of and expertise in the safe and appropriate use of new technologies Work closely with all stakeholders to help them ensure that young people use new technologies safely and responsibly both at home and at College Use learner and other stakeholder views more often to develop e-safety strategies Manage the transition from locked down systems to more managed systems to help learners understand how to manage risk; to provide them with richer learning experiences; and to bridge the gap between systems at College and the more open systems outside College

Safe Use of Technologies Key Recommendations November 5, 2010 | slide Provide an age-related, comprehensive curriculum for e-safety which enables learners to become safe and responsible users of new technologies Work with their external business partners and other providers to ensure that pupils who receive part of their education away from College are e-safe Systematically review and develop their e-safety procedures, including training, to ensure that they have a positive impact on learner knowledge and understanding
