Online Safety Training for Schools
Online Safety within Safeguarding is certainly now very much 'standalone' and requires specific training / workshops
for the Whole School, staff, pupils & parents. Here in UK it is now mandatory for schools to have this training which
includes any school under the UK Curriculum and international or overseas inspection. That said, Online Safety is
also of paramount importance irrespective of country as all children, teenagers and young adults use devices, social
media / apps / gaming which can have a massive impact on their future goals and targets (CyberVetting for
Employment & Universities). UpToDate Online Safety training / workshops pending any possible inspection by
Ofsted or the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI).
Online Safety training can be tailored to your requirements; I'm not a great believer in set training as every school
is different. Training is designed for Teachers, Governors / Trustees, Parents / Carers and Pupils from years 1-13.
