Please find details and attached of a new Online Safety course that has been set up in collaboration with Walsall CC Education Support Services to support students with additional needs. 

It will run over 2 one hour sessions (Online via MS Teams) 16th March 2021 and 23rd March 2021 (2 - 3pm). The cost is only £50 to attend.

As these are remote sessions, we will need the direct email address of the delegate so they can be invited onto the relevant session which will be emailed to the delegate nearer the date of the course.

How can we best support students with additional needs in the online world? 

Course overview 

NEW COURSE - Welcoming guest presenter Carol Allen 

Carol Allen is an education advisor for ICT and Inclusion in particular supporting LGFL and Hartlepool LA. Carol was named as one of the top ten educators for 2018 in the field of educational technology for her inclusion work. 

This course will start from the premise that access to the online world is for everyone whilst acknowledging that for those with additional needs there are a greater range of potentially harmful issues to be considered.  

As educators, how can we work to prepare our students to maintain their safety online; manage their digital identity and enjoy the benefits of the Internet without putting themselves at risk?  

There are few specific resources designed especially for these instances, and with good reason as the label of SEND or additional needs is so far from being a homogenous group.  However, the course will look at what we can use in terms of resources, activities and good practice to support our students effectively.  

Why not come along and join the conversation?​
