Why have NetSafe’s use agreement templates been updated?

The 2007 revision of the NetSafe use agreement templates takes into account:

  • The growing variety and proliferation of ICT equipment/devices present in schools
  • The growing number of incidents involving harassment on websites
  • The use made of privately-owned ICT on the school site and at school-related activities
  • The need for the school community to be aware of what constitutes appropriate use of ICT
  • The growing number of serious incidents involving misuse of mobile phones.
It is important that information and education about these matters is provided for all members of the school community.
