Online safety teaching resources

Teaching online safety in schools is more vital than ever. We have designed our online safety teaching resources to help educators guide children and parents to stay safe online in their daily lives.

Guidance from The Department for Education (DfE) outlines e-safety guidelines for all schools. This guidance provides internet safety for students across all subject areas to create a whole-school approach to teaching online safety.
