Internet Safety Policy for Looked After Children

 
The Dudley MBC Internet Safety Policy for Looked After Children has been developed to clarify the roles and responsibilities of looked after children and all who work with them in relation to Internet Safety.
 
 
The emphasis of the Policy is on:
 
  • Helping children to learn how to keep themselves safe;
  • Establishing and maintaining lines of communication in relation to children’s online activities;
 
 
The key features of the Policy are:
 
  • Internet Safety to be included in the risk assessment when a child enters care and/or a new placement;
  • All LAC to sign an Acceptable Use Agreement;
  • All LAC to agree to a set of Home Internet Rules;
  • All carers to sign a Statement to confirm they have read and agree with the Policy;
  • All carers to attend Internet Safety Training;
  • Additional specific guidance for Looked After Children.
