Online safeguarding in the early years

Earlier this month the UK Council for Internet Safety published guidance to help those who work in early years settings consider their practice and to take steps to safeguard both children and adults online.

There are two guides available:

• one for managers of early years settings to help ensure their online safeguarding practice is in line with statutory requirements and suggested practice

• one for practitioners to help them understand their role in promoting the online safety and wellbeing of children in their care as well as things to watch out for in terms of their own online safety. 

You can find the guides on the Gov.uk website.
