Acceptable use of Internet and email facilities for children
and staff rationale
Aitchison College has the opportunity to transform and enhance
education and help children to fulfil their potential through
effective use of ICT. However, we also have a duty of care and
must ensure that we are able to safeguard boys, so it is also
important they learn how to be safe when they are using new
technologies. Whilst blocking and banning is part of our policy,
we believe a more sustainable approach is required as preparation
for real life. We aim to equip boys with the skills and knowledge
they need to use the Internet safely and responsibly, managing the
risks wherever and whenever they go online; to promote safe and
responsible behaviour in using technology both at school, in the
home and beyond.
