Staying safe online
As we are a member of The National College we are pleased to share their Wake Up Wednesday guides which highlight the latest in online safety tips.
These high-quality resources empower adults and help to protect children in the digital space – encouraging schools, parents, carers and children alike to ‘wake up’ to the extent of potential hazards facing children and young people online.
We’ve also included links to organisations that provide further advice and guidance on how to keep children and young people safe online.
