The document discusses online safety and how schools can prepare for Ofsted inspections by developing an online safety curriculum, training staff, establishing policies and reporting procedures, and educating students, staff, and parents on risks like grooming, bullying, and inappropriate content. It provides examples of questions an Ofsted inspector may ask school leaders and staff to evaluate a school's online safety practices and identifies indicators of good and outstanding practice. Resources and ideas are shared for creating age-appropriate online safety lessons and engaging parents.
