Reporting of E-Safety Issues and Concerns Including Concerns Regarding Radicalisation: RBIS
Bangkok has clear reporting mechanisms in place, available for all users to report issues and concerns.
For staff, any concerns regarding e-safety should be made to the E-safety Officer who will review the
issue and take the appropriate action. For pupils, they are taught to raise any concerns to their class

teacher who will then pass this on to the e-safety officer. Complaints of a child protection nature must
be dealt with in accordance with our Safeguarding Children-Child Protection Policy.

Our Designated Safeguarding Lead provides advice and support to other members of staff on protecting
pupils from the risk of on-line radicalisation. RBIS Bangkok ensures staff understand what radicalisation
and extremism mean and why people may be vulnerable to being drawn into terrorism. We ensure staff
have the knowledge and confidence to identify pupils at risk of being drawn into terrorism, and to
challenge extremist ideas which can be used to legitimise terrorism. Staff safeguard and promote the

welfare of pupils and know where and how to refer pupils and young people for further help as
appropriate by making referrals as necessary to the appropriate authorities.

Assessing Risks:
• We will take all reasonable precautions to prevent access to inappropriate material. However, due to
the international scale and linked nature of Internet content, it is not possible to guarantee that

unsuitable material will never appear on a computer connected to the school network. The school
cannot accept liability for any material accessed, or any consequences of Internet access.
• Emerging technologies, such as mobile phones with Internet access (smartphones) are not governed
by the school’s infrastructure and bypass any and all security and filtering measures that are or could
be deployed.
• We will audit ICT use to establish if the E-Safety Policy is sufficiently robust and that the
implementation of the E-Safety Policy is appropriate and effective.

• Methods to identify, assess and minimise risks will be reviewed regularly.
• The DSL will review and examine emerging technologies for educational benefit and a risk
assessment will be carried out before use in school is allowed.
• Any person not directly employed by the school will not be provided with access to any of the school

systems with the exception of filtered Wi-Fi access.
• RBIS Bangkok takes measures to ensure appropriate IT filters monitoring systems are in place to
safeguard pupils from potentially harmful and inappropriate material on-line without unreasonable
“over-blocking” (para 67, 69 and new Annex C of KCSIE 2016).
• RBIS Bangkok recognises that pupils may choose to circumvent certain safety precautions by using
devices over 3G and 4G. To help provide a safe environment for all pupils, we will supplement the

systems filtering with behaviour management and additional staff/pupil training.

Internet Security and Filtering Systems
RBIS Bangkok security has in place systems which monitor and secure the internet traffic at the school.
These systems are to keep everyone safe, from blocking inappropriate content, to protecting our ICT
systems from cyber-attacks. The monitoring side plays an important part of the system, which helps us
to identify ways to improve security, and to better protect those that use it. By default, the system blocks

all inappropriate websites, illegal or unsuitable content, including pornography. Use of these kinds of
site is not allowed at the school.
