Abstract

The internet and mobile devices play a huge role in teenagers' home and school life, and it's becoming more and more important to effectively address e-safety in secondary 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 discussion of new technologies, social media and online gaming sites, SRE in the smartphone age, 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.

"If you keep doing the same things, you will get the same results." This is so apt when it comes to working with teenagers about safe online behaviours. We need to take a fresh approach to this rapidly evolving concern and this book provides just that. Bursting with useful resources and clear explanations, it is a must have.

Adrienne has taken on the monumental task of bringing together all the strands of e-safety in a secondary setting in this book. The advice and resources she provides will help both staff and pupils in secondary schools to become responsible digital citizens and, importantly, to stay safe. In my work as anti-bullying coordinator, I am acutely aware of the need for this book and fully support the ideas that it promotes. I will certainly be recommending it to the schools I work with.
