E- Safety, is an issue for individuals, organisations and business.There's a host of information, documentation and reports available. I have sign posted a few sites which I think will be useful to give you the basic information.
The RSC's, Learning Technologist Jason Curtis has created a wiki page on E- Responsibility, this is a good place to start. www.rscsystems.org.uk/index.php/EResponsibility.
Ofsted feel that its very important have the correct procedures and policies in place to try to cascade the right messages to staff and learners alike. The Excellence Gateway has guidance on Strategy, and creating Acceptable User Policies http://www.excellence.gateway.org.uk/ .
JISC Legal have created a template to help you identify your priorities before creating a strategy, carrying out an e- safety audit will give you ideas as to where to focus your strategy . http://TinyURL /2WJT9ek
Ofsted advocate that training is key to safe guarding. They believe that all students should feel safe online and be able to evaluate the risk or know how to report any issues. Ofsted's report into safe guarding can be found at http://tinyurl.com/Yg2j34c
Identifying resources for staff development like videos and websites can be found on the RSC's Wiki, however I felt that the 123people website is worth a mention as this gathers online information from Social Networking sites such facebook and Flickr. Checking your privacy settings will stop your information being shared with other websites. http://www.123people.co.uk/
The general message is that your staff and learners should be able to identify issues and feel safe online. Training seems to be the key to spreading the word regarding e-Safety. If you would like offical training on e-Safety then the CEOP, Think You Know Training is aimed at professionals working with children and young people. This training will give you both a law enforcement and education persepective. http://www.thinkyouknow.co.uk/
Take a look the Jisc Legal Top Ten checklists on their website http://www.jisclegal.ac.uk/
