The scheme is so engaging that the children are always excited for their learning and the positive impact is like no other! Their confidence has grown, it has really opened up a lot of questions on how we can implement this further into the school.”

of teachers said that pupils are more likely to speak up about any safeguarding disclosures, due to their participation in the programme
“The Digital Leaders have become far more confident and in turn have been able to share their online safety knowledge with others, encouraging them to be safe online.
We have managed to build stronger relationships and therefore have open conversations between staff and students about online safety.
Students have shown more confidence and competence in discussing these topics with other (particularly younger) children, as well as across other areas.”
