A truly effective approach to digital safety cannot rely on a single policy document or a few computing lessons. It requires a coherent strategy that connects policy, curriculum, technology infrastructure, staff training, parent engagement, and school culture. This template provides the strategic framework for building that approach, with practical planning tools and success measures to track progress over time.
