For Leadership Teams…

Every school has to stay vigilant for bullying or harmful behaviour and meet the needs of its most vulnerable pupils. By establishing clear guidelines and monitoring ICT use, Ranger Guardian safeguards your pupils. It also teaches pupils to use ICT responsibly, so fewer ‘risk’ situations arise.

Protecting pupils

Ranger Guardian gives pupils the freedom to use the internet and computer applications responsibly.

• Boundaries are set
• Pupils know that all computer activity is being monitored
• Victims do not need to come forward as intimidation is no longer anonymous
• Provides a safety net for those who put themselves at risk

Support teachers

By acting as a deterrent and providing impartial evidence when required, Ranger Guardian:

• Boosts pupil learning and keeps lessons on-task
• Identifies children who are pushing the boundaries
• Establishes clear evidence of ICT misuse
• Makes enforcement easier
• Increases staff morale

By highlighting issues as soon as they arise, Ranger Guardian gives teachers the information they need to act quickly and appropriately. Impartial evidence also protects staff against false accusations and stops them becoming a target of bullying themselves.

Reassure parents and governors

Ranger Guardian reassures parents and governors about
the school’s ability to:

• Protect pupils from on-line threats and bullying
• Maintain its reputation
• Empower teachers by providing them with evidence of inappropriate behaviour
• Meet Government guidelines
• Limit liability
• Flag any inappropriate use by staff
