Workshop overviewSome definitionsBackground to the projectWebsiteResourcesOngoing work

E-Safety is about safe and responsible practice with technology and the sensible management of risks presented by a digital world

There is a need to educate ourselves and others about the benefits and risks of using technology and to provide awareness, skills and safeguards to enable users to take responsibility for their own and others’ online experiences.

Vulnerable people

Some users may be more at risk on-line than others and this may be due to age (children or older people), health or disability.

Some disabled learners may be at risk online due to difficulties in understanding and/or communication and/or limited access to and interaction with information.
