Has your school got an AUP? Did you sign it? Can you remember what it says? Have you reminded the pupils about it frequently? Is it based on rules? Or rights?
Study this website, http://www.fluidoldham.co.uk/ esafety/ charter.php, it shows an e-safety charter, developed by pupils, of their rights when using the internet. How does that compare with your school’s AUP?
This website shows another charter but adds to the rights by outlining the responsibilities that go alongside, http://www.blackburn.gov.uk/ server.php?show=ConWebDoc.51178

Reflection
Is your online life professional?
Can your pupils, parents, employers find out about your lifestyle, immediate family, holidays or hobbies from your web persona?
Do you abide by the rights and responsibilities?
Would it be feasible for your class, school or partnership to create your own charter?
Can you teach children about its existence and explain to them how to use it so that they are able to get help if required?
Is there anything else you could do to help the children who get messages that they do not want?
