Children need to be empowered to use the internet rather than “mollycoddled” says CEOP CEO.

The BBC has posted an interesting article in which Ofsted are saying that “Managed” online systems were more successful than “locked” ones at safeguarding pupils.

Here are a couple more quotes from the article…

Where the provision for e-safety was outstanding, the schools had managed rather than locked down systems
Ofsted report

Ceop welcomed the report findings, saying it would ignite future debate.

Chief executive Jim Gamble said children needed to be empowered to use the internet rather than “mollycoddled”.

Mr Gamble said, in the real world, adults would not block children from going to the park, but would help them mitigate any risks involved.
