School Internet Access Policies

Creating a safe ICT learning and teaching environment must include effective policies and procedures which are clearly understood and followed by the whole school community. 

Hertfordshire have developed model eSafety and Data Security Guidance Policies for ICT Acceptable Use that schools can adapt and personalise. These polices have been developed from national guidance and best practice and are approved by the HSCB eSafety subgroup.

Model School Policies for eSafety and Data Security

CSF0137 Model School Policy for ICT Acceptable Use Incorporating eSafety and Data Security

• Word 2003, 737kb/37 pages, 22/07/2010, csf0137_model_policy_ict_acceptable_use_may10v2.doc

We have separated the full policy into two individual policies, eSafety and Data Security. Due to the nature of these policies there will be some overlap and schools can select the most suitable policy and adapt as appropriate.
