Common use of Use of personal devices Clause in Contracts

Use of personal devices. I understand that when working in the school I should at no time put myself in a position where a safeguarding allegation can be made against me as a result of my use of personal devices. I understand that the use of personal devices in school is at the discretion of the headteacher. I will only use approved personal devices in designated areas and never in front of pupils. This therefore precludes use of specialist apps on personal devices. A school device could be used to access specialist apps that support pupil learning. Pupils can also be encouraged, but not required, to access such apps on their own devices if allowed by the school and with parent/carer agreement. Additional hardware/software I will not install any hardware or software on school equipment without permission of the SLT. Promoting online safety I understand that online safety is part of my responsibility and I will promote positive online safety messages at all times, including when setting homework, rehearsal or skill practice or when providing pastoral support. I understand that it is my duty to support a whole school safeguarding approach and will report any behaviour (of staff, governors, visitors, pupils or parents/carers) which I believe may be inappropriate or concerning in any way to the DSL or SLT Classroom management of internet access I will pre-check for appropriateness all internet sites used in the classroom or during a tutoring session; this will include the acceptability of other material visible, however briefly, on the site. I will not free-surf the internet in front of pupils. If I am using the internet to teach about controversial issues I will secure, on every occasion, approval in advance for the material I plan to use with the SLT. Video conferencing I will only use the conferencing tools that have been identified and risk assessed by the school leadership, DPO and DSL. A school-owned device should be used when running video-conferences, where possible.

Use of personal devices.

I understand that the use of personal devices in school is at the discretion of the headteacher. I will only use approved personal devices in designated areas and never in front of pupils.

Pupils can also be encouraged, but not required, to access such apps on their own devices if allowed by the school and with parent/carer agreement. Additional hardware/software I will not install any hardware or software on school equipment without permission of the SLT[insert name]. Promoting online safety I understand that online safety is part of my responsibility and I will promote positive online safety messages at all times, including when setting homework, rehearsal or skill practice or when providing pastoral support.

I will not free-surf the internet in front of pupils. If I am using the internet to teach about controversial issues I will secure, on every occasion, approval in advance for the material I plan to use with the SLT[insert name]. Video conferencing I will only use the conferencing tools that have been identified and risk assessed by the school leadership, DPO and DSLDSP. A school-owned device should be used when running video-conferences, where possible.
