Cyber Safety and Data Protection at School

Schools handle sensitive data every day and students face cyberbullying, scams and harmful content online. This course prepares teachers, ICT coordinators and school leaders to build a safe digital school. Topics include cyberbullying prevention and response, digital wellbeing and screen time, GDPR basics for teachers, safe use of cloud tools and AI, password and device security, and how to teach online safety at different ages.

Suitable for teachers of all levels, ICT coordinators, counsellors and school leaders.

Participants will be able to recognise and respond to cyberbullying and online risks, apply GDPR principles to their daily work with student data and digital tools, improve basic security practices at their school and teach age-appropriate online safety lessons.
