Certificate in Online Safety for Staff in Early Years Settings
Early years settings (birth to 5 years old) provide a vital foundation for online safety education in today’s digital age. Staff working in early years settings should understand their role in promoting the online safety and wellbeing of children in their care, as well as considering their own professional practice in line with recommended guidance and best practice.

Please note: This course consists of learning through video, task completion and further reading/research. 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 to ensure they can successfully apply the knowledge and skills they have gained in their own setting.
