eSafety Label (značka E-varna šola) is a European-wide project coordinated by European Schoolnet (EUN) that developed a methodology of self-accessing e-safety in the school environment. In 2016 it has been introduced also in Slovenia, so Slovenian schools can also acquire an eSafety label and access all the resources and the portal www.esafetylabel.eu in Slovenian language.
What is the eSafety Label?
- Free tool to help keep up with ICT integration in the classroom
- European-wide eSafety accreditation and support service
- Equipping schools with resources to develop eSafety confidence
Through a few simple steps schools can:
- Complete an eSafety Label Self-Assessment Questionnaire which is an easy way for schools to evaluate how they are addressing eSafety infrastructure, policies and practices based on international standards.
- Receive an Action Plan, a practical guide to develop schools’ level of eSafety practice further.
- Gain Accreditation for school as a Bronze, Silver or Gold ‘eSafety Label Certified’ school.
Benefits for your school:
- Benchmark against schools in your country and across Europe
- Access an ever-growing set of resources and tools: eSafety advice and guidance, fact sheets, checklists and templates of school’s policies etc.
- Exchange best practices with other schools and experts on a range of eSafety issues
- Share your accreditation status with parents and the local community
In Slovenia the eSafety Label is coordinated by Safer Internet Centre (Safe.si). Across Europe in 35 countries that participate in the project so far 2.300 schools have been accredited with 1170 labels, 1099 Bronze, 59 Silver and 12 Gold.
