It Policy

[Guest]

Hello,

 

I've just had a welfare audit and it was suggested that I should have an IT policy. I hadn't rushed to do it as there is no internet access in the playroom [preschool]

I was advised that there was a sample one on a local website but I can't locate it. I haven't been able to find one on here, either, although I'm sure I've seen one. Can anyone point me in the right direction, please, or post a sample if there isn't one? It would be great to have a starting point!

Sorry I don't have an answer but doesn't it annoy you a bit to be asked to create a policy that is not necessary? It strikes me as a knee jerk 'one size fits all' approach to demand you do this!

 

There is loads of stuff on internet safety in schools - try doing a search for that and I'm sure you'll find something.

There's one here aimed at Primary schools but it may give you a starting point.

We don't have internet access but here is our policy to give you a starting point

Thank you everyone for your help. I did eventually find one on the local site I mentioned and - guess what - it only mentions internet access! I am not amused!

 

Well I suppose it won't hurt to do one, and I can assure you that your ideas are going to be a lot more useful than the one that was suggested! So thanks again!

Hi Weightman

 

Having just got internet access at our setting, I am looking for a internet policy. Would you mind sharing the one you found on another site?

 

Thanks!!

Hi there,

 

It's on a local website:

www.birthtofive.org.uk

It was hard to find - under manual handling, safety or something similarly obscure.

Failing that try the site for Homerton in Cambridgeshire.

 

Hope that helps.
