  23. Reduce Availability • of harmful and inappropriate content, the prevalence of harmful and inappropriate contact and the conduciveness of platforms to harmful and inappropriate conduct.

  24. What Can You Do? Make sure your AUP is up to date and covers new technologies. Use freely available resources – use from an early age Keep parents onboard with policies and educate them as well Look at BECTA E-safety guidance documents – “How e-safe are your school and your learners?” Try the NEN E-safety audit – www.nen.gov.uk

  25. Who can Help! CEOP Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre. Provide materials and training. It also tracks down offenders and provides the ‘report abuse’ – red button system.
