and arrangements take place, or if legislation, regulatory requirements or best practice guidelines so
require.

Introduction
We have written our E-Safety Policy based on UK government guidance. All staff, across the school
community contribute to the E-Safety Policy and the responsibilities are shared. Any technology used in
school (regardless of ownership) shall be governed by this policy. Students also have responsibilities
under this policy identified in the Acceptable Use Policies. This policy should also be read in conjunction
with the Anti-Bullying Policy. Networked computer resources and internet access are increasingly
available at RBIS. They enhance the teaching and learning enhance the learning environment for both
teachers and students, but are sophisticated and powerful tools and internet use in particular raises a
range of legal, ethical, technical and management issues. There is thus a need for proper regulation in
the use of computers and internet by staff and children. This is provided in the School’s ICT and Internet
Policy contained in document. All those who wish to use the system must comply with this policy.

In accordance with legislative requirements there is annual update training for staff regarding e-safety.
The school also organises annually an awareness session for Parents/guardians with regards to e-
safety.

For students:
Students at RBIS Bangkok will be given supervised access to our computing facilities and will be
provided with access to filtered internet and other services operating at RBIS. The promotion of online
safety within ICT activities is to be considered essential for meeting the learning and development needs
of children and young people. Key messages to keep children and young people safe are to be promoted
and should be applied to both online and offline behaviours. The primary purpose of this Policy is to
safeguard students and staff at RBIS. It details the actions and behaviour required from students and
members of staff in order to maintain an e-safe environment and is based on current best practice drawn
from a wide range of sources.
Health and Safety Policy
The safe use of ICT is included within the Health and Safety Policy, and also include guidelines for the
use of display screen equipment. The detrimental impact of prolonged ICT use on children’s brain
development should also be addressed. RBIS provides an environment in which children,
Parents/guardians and staff are safe from images being recorded and inappropriately used in turn
eliminating the following concerns: staff being distracted from their work with children, the safeguarding
of children from inappropriate use of mobile phone cameras and other digital recording equipment. N.B.
The word ‘camera’ in this document refers to any device that may be used to take and store a digital
image e.g. mobile phone, iPod, iPad etc.

All staff, across the school community contribute to the E-Safety Policy and the responsibilities are
shared. Any technology used in school (regardless of ownership) shall be governed by this policy.
Students also have responsibilities under this policy identified in the Acceptable Use Policies. This policy
should also be read in conjunction with the Anti-Bullying Policy. Networked computer resources and
internet access are widely available. They enhance the teaching and learning for both teachers and
students, but are sophisticated and powerful tools and internet use in particular raises a range of legal,
ethical, technical and management issues. There is thus a need for proper regulation in the use of
computers and internet by staff and children. This is provided in the School’s ICT Policy. All those who
wish to use the system must comply with this policy.
