CyberSenseand the new revised Ofsted Inspection Framework September 2015
CyberSense in an interactive skills-based resource that focuses on online safety. Developed by Liverpool-based educational charity, Ariel Trust, CyberSense will help pupils to build their resilience and develop practical communication strategies to keep themselves safe online.
New judgement headings Inspectors will make four key judgements, one of which is: Personal development, behaviour and welfare CyberSense is designed to support you to meet this judgement.
Personal development, behaviour and welfare Personal development: A key focus on pupil self-confidence and self-awareness and their understanding about how to be successful learners.
Personal development, behaviour and welfare Welfare: Physical and emotional well-being, including; healthy eating, fitness and mental health awareness. Staying safe online. Safe from all forms of bullying.
Good personal development The school’s open culture promotes all aspects of pupil welfare. Pupils are safe and feel safe. They have opportunities to learn how to keep themselves safe. They enjoy learning about how to stay healthy and about emotional and mental health, safe and positive relationshipsand how to prevent misuse of technology. Pupil spiritual, moral, social and cultural development ensures that they are prepared to be reflective about - and responsible for - their actions as good citizens.
Revised Ofsted inspection framework This includes significant changes to how Ofsted consider and inspect Online Safety: E-Safety = Online Safety Cyberbullying = Online Bullying
Key messages from Ofsted Importance of safeguarding as a golden thread throughout all Ofsted judgements. This emphasis shift and focus on safeguarding, includes ‘online safety’ and ‘online bullying’andstresses the importance of educating young people and staff.
Effectiveness of Leadership and Management Increased emphasis by Ofsted on: ensuring that safeguarding arrangements to protect pupils meet statutory requirements and promote their welfare.
Good Leadership Leaders promote equality of opportunity and diversity, resulting in a positive school culture. Staff and pupils work together to prevent any form of direct or indirect discriminatory behaviour. Leaders, staff and pupils do not tolerate prejudiced behaviour. Staff are trained and are increasingly vigilant, confident and competent to encourage open discussion with pupils.
Revised Ofsted framework New guidance suggests that it is essential for schools to take a leading role in addressing e-Safety / online safety.
The revised framework reinforces the message BECTA suggested in “Safeguarding Children in a Digital World”: “That schools support parents in understanding the issues and risks associated with children’s use of digital technology” BECTA recommended that schools have an active role in providing information and guidance for parents on promoting e-safety messages in home use of ICT too.
The Byron Review “Safer Children in a Digital World” which stressed the role of schools also reinforces the new framework: “One of the strongest messages I have received during my review was about the role of schools and other services for children and families have to play in equipping children and parents on how to stay safe online. To empower children and to raise the skills of parents, I make recommendations to Government in the following areas: delivering e-safety through the curriculum, providing teachers with the skills and knowledge they need and taking steps to ensure that Ofsted holds the system to account on the quality of delivery in this area”
