Safeguarding and child protection continue to be as important as ever, but with many organisations moving their programmes online in response to the coronavirus pandemic, online safety and protection has come to the fore.
Before moving your organisation’s delivery online, ensure your policies and procedures are fit for purpose. Schools and colleges have robust systems in place to support young people and the wider community and your provision should draw upon this good practice (see the DfE Statutory Guidance from 2020/2021 below). Below are some recommended steps, with signposting to organisations, materials, and templates that will help you develop your understanding in this complex area and create a culture of best practice across your organisation.
The plan set out below is covered in our webinar recording from June 2020 – Online safety for organisations working with children and young people.
Before any organisation starts to consider developing their online learning offer, they need to ensure that their policies and procedures are fit for purpose. This short unit explains how schools and other organisations protect their staff and young people online and provides suggestions and examples to enable an organisation to create an appropriate online safety strategy.
