Policy

Online Safety Policy

How technology and the internet will be used safely in our sessions.

Draft — requires owner and professional review

This policy has been drafted for our pre-launch website and reflects the site's current functionality. It will be reviewed by the business owner and an appropriate professional before being finalised.

Purpose

This policy sets out how technology and the internet will be used safely in AI Explorers sessions. It is a draft that will be finalised before classes open.

Devices and access

  • Children will use academy-managed devices, not their own.
  • Internet access will be filtered, and children will use pre-selected, age-appropriate educational platforms.
  • Children will not create accounts, log in to services or download software.
  • Devices will be cleared of children's work at the end of each course, unless families have agreed otherwise.

AI tools

  • Children under 13 will not use chatbots or generative AI tools independently.
  • Where generative AI is demonstrated, an instructor will operate it using fictional prompts.
  • No names, images, voices or other personal information will be entered into AI tools.
  • We will review each tool's terms, age requirements and data practices before using it.

Behaviour online

We will teach and model kind, respectful and safe online behaviour, including what to do if something online is upsetting. Children will be encouraged to tell an adult immediately if they see something that worries them.

Staff

Staff will not communicate privately with children online, will not connect with children on social media and will not use personal devices to photograph or record children.

Incidents

Any online safety incident will be recorded, managed in line with our safeguarding procedures and shared with parents and, where relevant, the host school.
