E-Safety  This national e-safety drive is being led by the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre. All schools should review and update their e-safety policy regularly. E-safety involves all aspects relating to children and young people and their safe use of the Internet, mobile phones, collaboration tools, personal publishing and other technologies, both in and out of school. It includes education on risks and responsibilities and is part of the Duty of Care which applies to everyone working with children.
