Roles and Responsibilities of the Team
The establishment and maintenance of a school’s cybersafety program is dependent upon a team effort. The cybersafety administrator leads a small team of relevant staff members that should (where possible) include the technology specialist, a guidance representative, (Guidance Counselor/Teacher, Social Worker), the special needs coordinator, and the library/media specialist. The team regularly reports to the school’s principal.

It is always possible to set up a team, even in a small two-teacher school where, for example, a school trustee could assist. To have one person carry the responsibility for the cybersafety of the school is neither safe for the school nor that person.
Any staff member with an interest in this area can join the team. The knowledge and relevant perspective of each team member will contribute to the depth and breadth of the cybersafety program.
