Education Settings - NEW DSL/D and Online Safety Coordinators: Understanding Online Safety in 2026-27
KEY INFORMATION TO READ BEFORE YOU BOOK
Online Safety in Schools and Colleges is the responsibility of the DSL. The DSL may delegate the day-to-day leadership of Online Safety to fully trained DSD and that person is known as the Online Safety Coordinator.
Additionally, schools may delegate the Teaching & Learning leadership of online safety to an Online Safety Curriculum Coordinator. This person must be supported in the role by a DSL/DSD who is also fully trained in Online Safety.
This course is for DSLs or DSDs who are new to the Online Safety Co-ordinator role. They should attend this course before completing the Whole School Approach course and only if they have not completed the Advanced Initial DSL training in 2023-24 or 2024-25 or the DSL Advanced Refresher training in 2023-24. Online Safety Curriculum Coordinators must complete this course before completing the Whole School Approach course.
The course is free for maintained schools and academies. There is a charge for 'free' and 'independent' school staff attending.
You must be logged into your training account to see availability on all sessions.
Attendance must be prioritised. Non-attendance without prior cancellation or agreement will be charged at £60.00 per session if it is not in line with our charging policy.
