ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS & ONLINE SAFETY
Please refer to SCL’s Online Safety Policy alongside this policy and procedure for more information. In addition, further information can also be found here Guidance for meeting- digital-and-technology-standards-in-schools-and-colleges. SCL use an electronic system, MyConcern to store and record safeguarding concerns relating to children and vulnerable adults. All safeguarding data is stored and retained in line with GDPR Privacy standards.
MyConcern Record Keeping
As per statutory guidance, SCL are required to be able to keep detailed, accurate secure written records of all concerns, discussions and decisions made, including any rationale for decisions. For example, where referrals to statutory agencies such as the Police or Local Authority were or were not made, or referrals relating to Prevent. SCL use MyConcern, an electronic safe and secure system for this to record and manage all safeguarding concerns. The SDSL and DSL are responsible for managing the system and having oversight of the safeguarding concerns and colleagues are expected to use MyConcern to record and report safeguarding concerns in a timely manner as well as use the system to monitor, review and manage concerns to reduce risks and support with action plans. Filtering and Monitoring As part of SCL’s statutory responsibility outlined in KCSIE 2023, to ensure schools and colleges have appropriate filtering and monitoring systems in place, SCL have robust systems to protect our children and vulnerable adults from harmful and inappropriate content while using the internet. SCL use SensoCloud which protects children and learners by monitoring SCL devices and indicating online safety concerns to the relevant colleagues. Senso Cloud flags users who may be vulnerable or at-risk and users who may pose a risk to others, as well as any inappropriate or harmful behaviour.
