Staying safe in the online world
At Offmore Primary School we follow the 'Education in a Connected World' framework to equip our children for a digital life.
This document is weaved and embedded into Offmore assemblies, lessons, PSHE, SMSC, RSE time and our parent workshops.
The Education for a Connected World framework describes the Digital knowledge and skills that children and young people should have the opportunity to develop at different ages and stages of their lives. It highlights what a child should know in terms of current online technology, its influence on behaviour and development, and what skills they need to be able to navigate it.
The document supports one of the key aims of the government’s Internet Safety Strategy of supporting children to stay safe and make a positive contribution online, as well enabling teachers to develop effective strategies for understanding and handling online risks.
It is split into 8 areas which are used from Reception onwards.
