Consideration was given to the report of the Corporate Director Education.

The Corporate Director Education advised that the report sought Executive approval on the 360 Degree Safe Online Safety Policy for Schools. The Corporate Director noted that the proposed policy demonstrated an integrated approach to online safety across all schools and views had been sought from schools through the Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs), and the policy would need to be approved by the school governing bodies.

The Corporate Director Education felt that the report was timely with schools providing blended learning in response to Covid-19 and the policy had been welcomed by the DSLs. The policy encourages schools to make full use of digital technologies available to engage learners and improve learner outcomes.

RESOLVED that the report be accepted and the information contained therein noted.
