Exploring the Required Procedures Access Controls • Are user names and passwords in place? • Are logins related to the information classifications? • Is the Network secure?
Exploring the Required Procedures Use of ICT Systems • How is on-line communication monitored? • Is there an e-safety syllabus regularly re-visited by staff and students? • Does the AUP accurately outline how all procedures are carried out?
Exploring the Required Procedures Password Security • Is there a clear policy regarding password conventions and renewing? • How is it monitored? Don’t tell anyone
Exploring the Required Procedures Incident Reporting • Is everyone clear about how to report an incident? • Who holds and monitors the Incident Log? • How is action taken when an incident is reported?
Exploring the Required Procedures Starters & Leavers • Who enters and removes staff and students from the system • How does this person get the information about starters and leavers?
Exploring the Required Procedures Remote Access • Are the rules about taking ICT equipment of the school premises? • Is the system set up securely to enable users to access the network from outside?
E-Safeguarding Approaches The Challenges presented to the schools • From the checklists, what are the immediate priorities for action in individual schools? Is there a pattern in these priorities? • What appear to be the key priorities for the longer term – over the next three years? • Is there potential for mutual support/collaboration between schools on short and/or longer term priorities? • How can e-security and e-safety become more integrated in school improvement planning at all levels?
