About The Course

Annual Certificate in Teaching Online Safety | Secondary (International Schools) (2022-23)

All children in secondary schools should be taught about online safety as part of a broad and balanced curriculum. An effective whole school or college approach to online safety protects and educates pupils in their use of technology and establishes mechanisms to identify, intervene in, and escalate any concerns where appropriate.

Developed by John Insley, e-safety lead and head of IT and computing, this course provides you with the knowledge, skills and confidence you need to feel confident and empowered to help keep children safe online.

Please note: This course consists of learning through video, task completion and further reading/research. Please consider this when planning and allocating your time.
