The Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSiE) statutory guidance states that children should be taught about safeguarding, including online safety, as part of a broad and balanced curriculum. This includes covering relevant issues through the new DfE RSHE curriculum.

COVID-19 has amplified the need for effective online safety education. Indeed, research conducted by Ofcom during lockdown found children increasingly filling their time with online activities. This included socialising, gaming and spending more and more time on apps such as TikTok.

In this webinar, e-safety lead and head of IT and computing, John Insley, discusses how to embed online safety learning in schools, what key areas to focus teaching on and how to develop an ethos which encompasses the whole school community.
