"Today’s pupils are growing up in an increasingly complex world, living their lives seamlessly on and offline. This presents many positive and exciting opportunities, but also challenges and risks. We want schools to equip their pupils with the knowledge needed to make the best use of the internet and technology in a safe, considered and respectful way, so they are able to reap the benefits of the online world." - DfE
DfE Teaching Online Safety in Schools
“More information around how we keep young people safe online is outlined in our Online Safety Policy and the Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy. This includes our commitment to effective filtering and monitoring systems which are a key part of keeping children safe online. Also mentioned is how we equip young people with the knowledge and skills to stay safe online. Teaching online safety is a key part of the RSE and PSHE curriculum, and the content is informed by both the statutory RSE guidance, and the guidance ‘Teaching Online Safety in Schools’”
