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

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.

This training is compulsory for DSLs/Online Safety Coordinators and Online Safety Curriculum Coordinators who are attending the Online Safety: Whole school Approach 1 day course.

The aim of this session is to ensure that delegates have a full knowledge of how young people in Sheffield are using the online space and how they compare to young people nationally.  It will look at key piece of research and will examine all the main themes that are essential to safeguarding children online.  It will also look at how this links to Keeping Children Safe in Education and will also look at research around keeping young people with SEND and other additional needs safe online.
