How it works
The Childnet Digital Leaders Programme is a peer-led online safety programme open to all UK schools and youth settings.
Schools or groups joining the programme will have access to an interactive online platform for either primary or secondary schools. These platforms train and empower young people to be online safety peer mentors in their school or youth setting. This programme has been created by online safety experts and teachers in consultation with young people themselves.
85% of teachers who have taken part in the Childnet Digital Leaders Programme said that it has helped their school fulfil their safeguarding duties.
