Online Safety
Recently I took part in training to qualify me as a online safety lead for education. With the world we live on becoming more digital each day, online safety has become a massive talking point in schools and at home.
This page contains the latest information on online safety and useful resources for use in both schools and to help parents at home.
What is Online Safety?
Online Safety is being aware of the nature of the possible threats that you could encounter whilst engaging in activity through the Internet, these could be security threats, protecting and managing your personal data, online reputation management, and avoiding harmful or illegal content.
CEOP
CEOP is a command of the National Crime Agency, and is dedicated to tackling the sexual abuse and exploitation of children and young people. CEOP is available to help young people (up to age 18) who have been forced or tricked into taking part in sexual activity with anyone online or in the real world. They also offer advice and links to support in response to other online problems young people might face, such as cyberbullying or hacking.
