Be aware of the child protection officer at your schools and follow the school guidance
Read the e-safety policy for your school
When contacting your learners:
Use a school telephone – never your own
Use a school registered e-mail address
Use the school VLE/Yammer for chats, forums or any other outside school interaction, social or educational
How private is your Facebook or other social networking account?
Check your privacy settings
Do you know all of your friends?
Are there photos of you online that you might find a little embarrassing?
Never be online friends with children you teach
DO NOT share your personal views about colleagues, students or parents via your social networking pages - some of your ‘friends’ may not agree with your views and report you!
