Hi all I'm just wondering if anyone has an ICT policy I could adapt for use within my setting. We have a number of parents who are concerned about their child using the computer. I am going to put a copy of the recent John Siraj-Blatchford article 'Analysis: 'Computers benefit children'' into our newsletter but would like to back it up with a usage policy. Just need something to get me started really. Thanks Sal
