Online Safety Training for Educators and Professionals

This 90-minute virtual training session is designed for professionals working with young people including senior leaders, PSHE leads, governors/trustees responsible for safeguarding and any members of staff with an interest in online safety. The aim is to familiarise participants with the current online safety landscape, exploring both the technologies in use today and the behaviours that develop around them.

The session will provide:

• An overview of current trends, emerging threats and key issues affecting children and young people online.
• A clear outline of statutory obligations and how they apply in educational settings.
• Practical signposting to reliable resources, tools and sources of support that staff can draw on to promote safe and responsible online behaviour.

The content is relevant for anyone who plays a role in safeguarding or supporting the wellbeing of children and young people, whether directly in the classroom or as part of a school’s wider pastoral and leadership team.

Delivered by SWGfL, a world-leading online safety charity and founding member of the UK Safer Internet Centre. SWGfL works nationally and globally to protect children and young people online through policy advice, cutting-edge tools and expert training.
