8 resources for online safety

February 10, 2020

As it is Safer Internet Day tomorrow (11 February 2020), I thought I would suggest a few useful resources. Hopefully, you will have already planned what to do for Safer Internet Day, but a few more ideas won’t hurt. Also, I firmly believe that Safer Internet Day should be viewed as a call to action or reminder, but that safeguarding issues in general should be paramount throughout the year.

Some of the resources listed here are for adults, some for parents, and others are useful for discussing with (older) students. I hope you find them useful.
