Abstract

Children are using the internet and mobile devices at increasingly younger ages, and it's becoming more and more important to address e-safety in primary schools. This practical book provides guidance on how to teach and promote e-safety and tackle cyberbullying with real-life examples from schools of what works and what schools need to do.

The book explains how to set policy and procedures, how to train staff and involve parents, and provides practical strategies and ready-to-use activities for teaching e-safety and meeting Ofsted requirements. Including up-to-the-minute information and advice that includes new technologies, social media sites, and recent school policy trends such as 'Bring Your Own Device', this book provides all of the information that educational professionals need to implement successful whole school e-safety strategies.

This is an essential resource for all primary schools looking to develop a whole school approach to e-safety and cyberbullying. Packed with up-to-date facts and figures, the book provides a fascinating, and sometimes worrying, insight in children's online behaviour. Katz provides clear practical guidance to ensure senior leaders embed e-safety within a schools' wider safeguarding context together with a range of lesson plans to enable children to explore e-safety issues in a fun and engaging way.
