Parent / Carer Acceptable Use Agreement

 

Digital technologies have become integral to the lives of children and young people, both within schools and outside school.

 

These technologies provide powerful tools, which open up new opportunities for everyone. They can stimulate discussion, promote creativity and stimulate awareness of context to promote effective learning.

 

Young people should have an entitlement to safe internet access at all times.

 

This Acceptable Use Policy is intended to ensure:

 

• that young people will be responsible users and stay safe while using the internet and other communications technologies for educational, personal and recreational use.

• that school systems and users are protected from accidental or deliberate misuse that could put the security of the systems and users at risk.

• that parents and carers are aware of the importance of e-safety and are involved in the education and guidance of young people with regard to their on-line behaviour.

 

The school will try to ensure that pupils will have good access to digital technologies to enhance their learning and will, in return, expect the pupils to agree to be responsible users.

 

A copy of the Pupil Acceptable Use Policy is attached to this permission form, so that parents / carers will be aware of the school expectations of the young people in their care.

 

Parents are requested to sign the permission form below to show their support of the school in this important aspect of the school’s work.

Use of Digital / Video Images

 

The use of digital / video images plays an important part in learning activities. Pupils and members of staff may use digital cameras to record evidence of activities in lessons and out of school. These images may then be used in presentations in subsequent lessons.

 

Images may also be used to celebrate success through their publication in newsletters, on the school website and occasionally in the public media.

 

The school will comply with the General Data Protection Regulation and request parents / carers permission before taking images of members of the school. We will also ensure that when images are published that the young people cannot be identified by the use of their names.

 

In accordance with guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office, parents / carers are welcome to take videos and digital images of their children at school events for their own personal use. To respect everyone’s privacy and in some cases protection, these images should not be published / made publicly available on social networking sites, nor should parents / carers comment on any activities involving other students / pupils in the digital / video images.

 

Parents / carers are requested to sign the permission form below to allow the school to take and use images of their children
