The annual SWGfL Online Safety Day returns for 2021! We will be looking to share our latest online safety information for the new school year. With schools beginning the new term, it is important to have all the latest advice and guidance in keeping children and young people safe online. This event has limited capacity so don’t delay in booking your tickets!

Data from our 360safe tool has shown that online safety training for staff was a significant weakness for schools in the UK. Lets begin your online safety education.

This online event is aimed primarily at professionals working with children and young people in the UK. The two-hour session will include segments from David Wright (Director of UK Safer Internet Centre) and representatives from OFSTED, Internet Matters, The Diana Award, IWF & Facebook.

We will be covering a wide range of online safety topics including:

• Online Sexual Harassment in Schools – Current impact on schools

• New Resources and Tools – Helping you and your pupils stay safe online

• Helpline Data - Report Harmful Content and Professionals Online Safety Helpline

• Reporting Guidance – Promoting and utilising reporting channels in education
