ICT & Internet Agreement

When using the school’s ICT systems and accessing the internet in school, or outside the school on a work device, I will not:
• Access, or attempt to access inappropriate material, including but not limited to material of a violent, criminal or pornographic nature
• Use them in any way which could harm the school’s reputation
• Access social networking sites or chat rooms
• Use any improper language when communicating online, including in emails or other messaging services
• Install any unauthorized software
• Share my password with others or log in to the school’s network using someone else’s details

I will only use the school’s ICT systems and access the internet in school, or outside the school on a work device, for educational purposes or for the purpose of fulfilling the duties of my role.

I agree that the school will monitor the websites I visit.
I will take all reasonable steps to ensure that work devices are secure and password-protected when using them outside school, and keep all data securely stored in accordance with this policy and the school’s data protection policy.

I will let the designated safeguarding lead (DSL) and ICT manager know if a pupil informs me they have found any material which might upset, distress or harm them or others, and will also do so if I encounter any such material.
I will always use the school’s ICT systems and internet responsibly and ensure that pupils in my care do so too.
