Dear Colleague, 

• NEW Be Internet Citizens training - free training for teachers on the new digital curriculum  
• New UKCIS Digital Passport for foster children - share with foster carers to keep children safe online when they change placement

Join us for FREE teacher training on the brand-new Be Internet Citizens digital citizenship curriculum from YouTube and the Institute for Strategic Dialogue on 6th July. The webinar will teach you how to use the new curriculum, ideal for RSHE in Secondaries (handy for transition primary as well) and covers:

• Disinformation and misinformation
• Bias 
• 'Us vs them' narratives
• Hate speech
• Positive messages and peer-support

The UK Council for internet Safety (UKCIS) has created a Digital Passport - a communication tool for foster carers and their children to facilitate conversations and take steps to keep children safer online, above all respecting their digital lives as they move from one placement to another. Share this great tool with foster carers and anyone working with looked after children.

Do take a look at our selection of FREE safeguarding posters for key messages, tips & conversation starters for staff, pupils and parents.

We are planning to make a new batch so please hit reply and let us know and safeguarding messages you feel would be useful to have on a poster for your school (for staff or for students).

On the 4th anniversary of the Manchester Arena attack, Educate Against Hate has published a powerful blog by a mother of one of the victims reflecting on the importance of tolerance and kindness.

While reflecting on this and how schools can help, our free counter extremism resource offers top tips, CPD videos, discussion starters and case studies to help promote British values as part of your whole-school approach.

Finally, in case you missed our last newsletter, we had links to our Ofsted inspection handbook updates and new safeguarding CPD twilights for DSLs/SLT on filtering.

Don't forget there's lots happening at LGfL for other areas of the school beyond safeguarding:

• Leasing options on our Bridge the Divide devices
• Other training from LGfL teams
• Find out all we do beyond broadband here
• Sign up to one of the other newsletters

Have a great half term!
