This session explores the role of governors and trustees in supporting and challenging their schools in how they address their online safety responsibility, and considers what security measures schools are required to take in order to mitigate the risks posed by cyber attacks. You will have an opportunity to:

           - the inappropriate use of social media
           - cyber bullying and inappropriate images;
           - grooming and radicalisation
           - online gaming and the use of personal information
 •  discuss and consider how to deal with these situations
 •  explore resources that schools can use to teach pupils the importance of online safety  policies
 •  consider how governors can ensure that appropriate filters and monitoring measures are put in place

 •  examine the DfE digital and technology standards and procedures to minimise the risks of cyber attacks, staff training and questions to ask

Target audience: all governors, particularly those with safeguarding responsibility
