Online and offline safety guidance for classroom teachers. Spot the signs, respond appropriately, and teach children to protect themselves.
Teachers are often the first adults to notice changes in a child's behaviour that may indicate an online safety issue. Whether it is a pupil being cyberbullied, sharing too much personal information, or showing signs of grooming, your position gives you a unique opportunity to intervene early. This guide equips you with the knowledge and resources to respond confidently.
Children spend a significant portion of their day in school, and many online safety incidents spill into the classroom — from group chat fallout to pupils sharing inappropriate content. Teachers who feel confident identifying and responding to these issues can make a decisive difference in a child's wellbeing. Your duty of care extends to the digital world.
