Annual Certificate in Online Safety for Governors (International Schools- Arabic)

Course Duration: 1 hour and 28 minutes (approx.)

Governing bodies and proprietors have a responsibility to promote the welfare of children and provide them with a safe environment in which to learn. They should ensure staff receive the appropriate online safety training, children are taught about child protection and that appropriate measures are in place to limit children’s exposure to online risks.

Our annual online safety training for school governors provides you with the core content you need to ensure you are delivering a comprehensive approach to online safety.

Split into bite-sized modules, the training has been designed to provide maximum learning potential in the leanest, most cost-effective and most time-efficient manner. It has been produced in high-quality remote video CPD format which is accessible on any device, any time, anywhere.

Developed by international safeguarding expert, Robin Watts, the course has been divided into ten easy-to-digest modules. The course consists of learning through video modules, completion of tasks, further reading and viewing external resources. Please consider this when planning and allocating your time. To successfully understand and achieve the objectives of the course, learners are expected to engage in all aspects of the learning process and complete all relevant activities to ensure they can successfully apply the knowledge and skills they have gained in their own setting.
