Bringing the latest in Online Safety to your doorstep.

The UK Safer Internet Centre are delighted to partner with C2k/EdIS and the Education Authority to deliver a FREE Online Safety update in a venue near you. Open to all who work with children and young people, this event will give you the latest in research, legislation, technology, tools and resources along with exclusive access to the presentation and resource materials. Safety online is constantly changing and the purpose of Online Safety Live events is to provide access to this information, right on people’s doorsteps. We understand that everyone is busy and the feedback has been clear that getting time away from work is a challenge – this is why we have organised these events as short briefing sessions. They provide vital information, critically supplemented with access to detailed resources to review later. The team will also be available to answer any of your online safety queries or questions.

Delivered by the team at SWGfL, a charitable trust dedicated to empowering the safe and secure use of technology through innovative services, tools, content and policy, nationally and globally. We are proud to be a world leader in online child safety, a founding member of the UK Council for Child Internet Safety as well as an advisor to Governments and a partner in the UK Safer Internet Centre. We have created award winning resources and services that especially help and support professionals working with children and young people.

The event will be held on the first floor (accessible lift), with tea, coffee and biscuits served at 12:45pm.

W5 Life in the Odyssey Complex is clearly signposted on all major approach roads. There are disabled parking spaces (within the Odyssey site car park).

The venue is a five-minute walk from the Laganside Bus Centre via Queen Elizabeth Bridge or Lagan Weir Bridge, and one mile from the Europa Bus Centre.

Train: There are two stops that are within walking distance of W5 Life. Alight at Titanic Quarter (10 min walk) or Lanyon Place Station (20 min walk) in Belfast.
