EMPPC – Safer Internet Responsible Use Guidelines – 9-02-15 (v1 2)

The vision  is “To enable all individuals, organisations, both private and public and the community as a whole to develop an ethos of digital citizenship that leads to a safe and responsible use of internet accessible technology”.

This document represents a partnership of sharing and understanding between all parties whereby each party is subject to the rights and responsibilities outlined in the following document. These guidelines have been signed off by the East and Midlothian Public Protection Committee.

This document does not replace existing policies in respect of safer internet usage however is intended to support any existing guidance and assist individuals, organisations, both private and public and the community as a whole to consider the issue, their responsibility in responding to such matters and who to contact for further advice or support to deal with any issue should it arise.

The E-safety Forum (East and Midlothian) has been set up to create an E-safety Action Plan which will be presented back to the EMPPC for approval.
