Filtering and Monitoring. The governors will ensure that the school has age and ability appropriate filtering and monitoring in place whilst using school devices and systems to limit children’s exposure to online risks. • The school’s internet access strategy will be dependent on the need and requirements of our community and will therefore be designed to suit the age and curriculum requirements of our pupils, with advice from technical, educational and safeguarding staff. • All monitoring of school owned/provided systems will take place to safeguard members of the community. • All users will be informed that use of school systems can be monitored and that all monitoring will be in line with data protection, human rights and privacy legislation. • The school uses educational filtered secure broadband connectivity through the KPSN which is appropriate to the age and requirement of our pupils. • The school uses Light Speed filtering system which blocks sites that fall into categories such as pornography, racial hatred, extremism, gaming, sites of an illegal nature, etc. • The school will work with KCC and the Schools Broadband team or broadband/filtering provider to ensure that filtering policy is continually reviewed. • The school will have a clear procedure for reporting breaches of filtering which all members of the school community (all staff and all pupils) will be made aware of. • If staff or pupils discover unsuitable sites, the URL will be reported to the School Designated Safeguarding Lead and will then be recorded and escalated as appropriate. • The School filtering system will block all sites on the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) list. • Changes to the school filtering policy will be risk assessed by staff with educational and technical experience prior to any changes and where appropriate with consent from the Leadership Team. • All changes to the school filtering policy will be logged and recorded. • The Leadership Team will ensure that regular checks are made to ensure that the filtering methods selected are effective and appropriate. • Any material that the school believes is illegal will be reported to appropriate agencies such as IWF, Kent Police or CEOP immediately.

Other objectionable material could be filtered. The determination of what constitutes “other objectionable” material is a local decision. • Filtering software is not 100% effective. While filters make it more difficult for objectionable material to be received or accessed, filters are not a solution in themselves. Every user must take responsibility for his or her use of the network and internet and avoid objectionable sites; • Any attempts to defeat or bypass the district’s internet filter or conceal internet activity are prohibited: proxies, special ports, modifications to district browser settings and any other techniques designed to evade filtering or enable the publication of inappropriate content; • E-mail inconsistent with the educational and research mission of the district will be considered SPAM and blocked from entering district e-mail boxes; • The district will provide appropriate adult supervision of internet use. The first line of defense in controlling access by minors to inappropriate material on the internet is deliberate and consistent monitoring of student access to district devices; • Staff members who supervise students, control electronic equipment or have occasion to observe student use of said equipment online, must make a reasonable effort to monitor the use of this equipment to assure that student use conforms to the mission and goals of the district; and • Staff must make a reasonable effort to become familiar with the internet and to monitor, instruct and assist effectively. • The district will provide a procedure for students and staff members to anonymously request access to Internet websites blocked by the district’s filtering software. The procedure will indicate a timeframe for a designated school official to respond to the request. The requirements of the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) will be considered in evaluation of the request. The district will provide an appeal process for request that are denied.
