Refer to SCL’s Online Safety Policy for full details. Additional guidance is available Guidance for meeting-digital-and-technology-standards-in-schools-and-colleges. Staff must follow SCL’s Online Safety Policy, maintaining professional boundaries online and adhering to the Staff Code of Conduct. All safeguarding concerns related to online behaviour or digital contact must be reported immediately to the DSL, following the process in the flowchart. Record Keeping All safeguarding concerns are recorded in MyConcern, a secure system compliant with GDPR. Records must be accurate, timely, and complete, supporting monitoring, action plans, and statutory reporting (e.g., Police, Local Authority, Prevent). DSL and DDSL oversee the concerns and system. Filtering and Monitoring SCL provides robust filtering and monitoring on all devices to protect learners from harmful content, identify risks, and highlight inappropriate behaviour. Guidance : Safer Internet Centre. Digital Behaviour and AI • Learners receive education on safe digital use, including AI, with emphasis that AI cannot replace professional safeguarding guidance. • Staff must report any AI-related safeguarding concerns immediately to the DSL/DDSL or Prevent Lead https://saferinternet.org.uk/guide-and-resource/teachers-and-school- staff/appropriate-filtering-and-monitoring Multi-Agency Working Staff must cooperate fully with statutory authorities, including social care, police, and regulatory bodies, as required. Internal gathering information and making an assessment (not investigating) never replace statutory investigations. Guidance from external agencies must be followed, and staff must provide all relevant information promptly. Whistleblowing and Escalation • Staff may raise concerns internally first, or externally if necessary, and will be protected from reprisal when acting in good faith.
