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.”
