eSmart Schools Evaluation Report 2015

This report presents the findings of an evaluation of the implementation and impact of eSmart Schools, an Australia wide initiative of The Alannah and Madeline Foundation available to schools across Australia. A world-leading initiative, eSmart Schools helps Australian schools manage cybersafety and deal with bullying and cyberbullying. eSmart Schools uses a behaviour and social change approach to foster a community of students, teachers and parents to become smart, safe and responsible online. It supports schools to embrace the benefits of technology while reducing their exposure to cyber risks, such as cyberbullying, online sexual predation, sexting, identity theft and fraud. The purpose of the evaluation was threefold: to understand the impacts associated with eSmart Schools, to discover how eSmart Schools is being implemented, and to identify key areas for development.
