Now, more than ever, we believe it is important for children to be aware of how to be safe and resilient online. At Barnardos, our vision is that children reach their potential and have happy, healthy and safe lives, both offline and online. That’s why, in response to the Covid-19 restrictions that have been placed on schools for the foreseeable future, we have adapted our online safety programme and can offer live, online workshops as an alternative to face-to-face.

Since September 2019, with support from Google.org, we are rolling out a 5 year online safety programme across the country, with the aim of reaching 1,000 schools and 75,000 students overall. As part of this Barnardos/Google partnership, we signpost to Be Internet Legends, a free multifaceted programme designed to teach younger children (age 7-11 year olds) about online safety. There are family guides for parents and lesson plans for teachers and can be used as a ‘before’ or ‘after’ teaching resources to our workshops.
