Education Settings - Online Safety: A Whole School Approach 2024-25

KEY INFORMATION TO READ BEFORE YOU BOOK

All DSL’s and DSD’s attending this course should have attended DSL Advanced Initial 2 day training prior to attending this course.  Accompanying Online Safety Curriculum Coordinators should also enrol on the Online Safety Emerging Themes course prior to attending the course.  The content of the Emerging Themes course is covered in the DSL Advanced Initial 2 day training and was the subject of part of the Advanced Refresher training last academic year.

Online Safety in Schools and Colleges is the responsibility of the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL).

The DSL may delegate the day-to-day leadership of Online Safety to fully trained Designated Safeguarding Deputy and that person is known as the Online Safety Coordinator.

Additionally, schools may delegate the T&L 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.

Online Safety Curriculum Coordinators must attend this course with a DSL/DSD.  (An exception can be made to this on a school-by-school basis if the DSL has attended this course in the last three years.  Please discuss this with your Safeguarding Advisor for Education).

This day will look at the needs around Online Safety for the Whole School and how it links to Safeguarding and Personal Development.  It will cover Policy, the needs of Staff and governors and will look at the ways we can engage parents.  We will also look in some detail at the curriculum needs around Online Safety and how Online safety leads can support colleagues to deliver these messages efficiently and effectively.

The course is free for maintained schools and academies.  There is a charge for 'free' schools and 'independent' schools staff attending.

Attendance must be prioritised.  Non-attendance without prior cancellation or agreement will be charged if it is not in line with our charging policy.  You can cancel your place via the training booking system and please also let us know so we can offer your place to someone else.
