Integrity (is it still correct)
Availability (can I get to it when I need to)
The Information Life Cycle

• Regular training in information security
• Policies
Any Questions
• E-Safe Software

Governor Briefing
We live in an increasingly technological world New technologies promote a depth & ease of
learning and a shared understanding ICT easily engages young people We need to ensure that we take every
reasonable precaution to keep young people safe in all areas of their lives including the use of mobiles, computers, gaming, social networking etc
It would be impossible to eradicate every risk, therefore it is our responsibility to• teach young people about the risks so that they can
safeguard themselves• rigorously investigate any incidents
In the past it was possible to filter the Internet centrally.
The new Bradford Learning Network has moved to ‘Edge Filtering’ with ‘Smoothwall’ – funded from the ‘Schools Forum’.
Request to the ‘Schools Forum’ for funding for forensic software.
Several companies were researched. ‘e-safe’ was procured for every Bradford
child for 3 years
SmoothwallEvery school in Bradford (Academy, Primary, Secondary, Free) has been issued a ‘Smoothwall’ box. This was not dependent on being a BLN member.The box filters the internet.The school is responsible for the filtering.The box has to be set so that it cannot be bypassed.Heads and Governors need to ensure this is in place. Safeguarding is a statutory responsibility.
e-safe is a piece of software that sits on the schools computers and the schools network.
When it is installed alongside ‘Smoothwall’ it gives a level of security to the ‘Head’ and the ‘Governors’ (Bradford Council)
It enhances opportunities for learning without impacting on staffing in school as monitoring is almost a full time role.
It is monitored externally, so governors and heads are assured that all incidents will be reported. (This would usually only be the Head Teacher).
allows students and young people to exploit the benefits of on-line and off-line technology in a safe environment, whilst promoting the skills necessary for responsible and safe behaviour
improve attainment levels and support student progress by giving greater access to online resources and applications, including social media
deliver early warning indicators of inappropriate and harmful behaviour, such as bullying, gang culture, grooming, self harm and possible suicide risk etc to enable a school or college to intervene in a proactive manner
detect and identify inappropriate and illegal material at the point the content is accessed, whether streaming video, video files or static images and including material stored on USB devices
A unique Service to eliminate the operational burden and legal risk for schools and colleges involved in monitoring IT use, which utilises e-safe’s forensic experts and child protection specialists to free up time for teachers to focus on intervention, comprising:
Review of all incidents detected in context by safeguarding specialists.
Serious incident notification with agreed actions, aligned to safeguarding
A comprehensive Service Level Agreement covering incident and general misuse reporting to an agreed cycle
Fully hosted technical environment and day to day operational systems management and administration by e-safe technical staff.
School specific configuration, designed to ensure that e-safe reflects an individual school or college’s preferences, local demographic and cultural ethos.
Virtual Teaching Assistant Guidance for the user in responsible online and offline use delivered
via screen messages to identify possible risks and instances of inappropriate behaviour.
Inappropriate Image & Word/Phrase Detection
Sophisticated image (moving and static) and word/phrase detection to allow schools to confidently open up application and Internet resources, including social media; secure in the knowledge that inappropriate material and behaviour will be detected both online and offline.
Confidential Incident Escalation
All incidents are reviewed by the e-safe specialist Forensic staff and those requiring intervention are escalated to the nominated contact(s) within the school or college against a pre-agreed protocol.
A Bradford Primary School – 24th Sept to 8th November (6 weeks including half term)
ILLEGAL – 0 SELF HARM/SUICIDE RISK – 0BULLYING – 4PORNOGRAPHIC IMAGES – 2SEXTING/GROOMING – 2INAPPROPRIATE KEYWORDS/SEARCHES – 21PROXY AVOIDANCE - 1VIOLENCE - 0
Bradford Secondary School – 15th April to 30th June 2013 (12 weeks including half term)
ILLEGAL - 0SELF HARM/SUICIDE RISK – 3BULLYING – 21PORNOGRAPHIC IMAGES – 27SEXTING – 7INAPPROPRIATE KEYWORDS/SEARCHES – 122PROXY AVOIDANCE – 2VIOLENCE - 0
Please would governors check with their schools whether it is installed and the reasons why not. (Heads sometimes leave it to their ICT support – one school was paying for 3 different solutions. Some ICT support don’t like the ‘big brother’ aspect of monitoring).
Contact e-safe
Along with the Site Installation Form which we need completing (fully without omission) and returning, each Head also needs to send us the following info:
Name of the Head, their direct email address (not admin@, or office@ etc) and mobile number. The Head’s mobile number is required in the event that e-safe need to escalate a serious life threatening or illegal incident.
Name and title of the school’s senior safeguarding contact nominated to receive incident notification/reports (if not the Head). This must not be an ICT technician or network manager and must include the direct email address and mobile number of the safeguarding contact
Upon receipt of the above, e-safe will issue the nominated contact (by email) with a Welcome Pack which includes instructions on how to obtain an encryption key to access incident reports. In the instance of secondary schools and colleges which may want to include Heads of Year and other staff in the incident escalation and reporting process , we recommend that those contacts are identified after the Service has been installed and operating for a few weeks.
The attached Site Installation Form to be completed by the schools ICT network manager or technician
Irrespective of whether the answers to the 3 points above are to be sent to e-safe via Bradford Council or direct from the schools to e-safe, the information needs to be emailed to e-safe at the following:
Head and safeguarding contact details to: [email protected] quoting the school name in the subject field
Completed Site Installation Forms to: [email protected] quoting the school name in the subject field
