WMnet supports West Midlands Councils, schools and all organisations working with children meet their statutory obligations to have clearly articulated policies on e-safety.

Choose from the E-safety Self Review Framework or the E-safety Pledge as a starting point to develop your e-safety provision.

 
E-Safety Self Review
     
 

WMnet e-safety logo

The WMnet E-safety framework is a tool which enables schools to assess and benchmark their adoption of good e-safety practice across all e-learning activities. 
 

It enables schools to:
- identify where they are
- identify the practical steps they can take to improve their E-safety provision and procedures
 
This will enable the school, staff and pupils to benefit from the full range of e-learning opportunities available to them in a safe and informed manner.
