This online safety CPD course is important for senior leaders, headteachers, teachers, teaching assistants, and support workers at all levels. In a digital world, with devices commonly used in classrooms and online learning increasing, it’s crucial to be aware of cyber attacks, understand the risks, and have the tools to keep all involved safe and secure.

The training will include a comprehensive look at different types of cyber-attacks that commonly target schools. It will also discuss their potential consequences, offering participants an idea of the scope and severity of the problem. It will contribute to raising awareness of the risks of cyber attacks not only among those attending the course but also their networks and colleagues, as they can take information back to their schools and settings.
