Safer Internet Day was founded to promote online safety and cyber awareness. Over 40,000 people have attended online safety sessions, and 5500 new Childnet Digital Leaders have been trained, which is an important step towards achieving better cyber safety for everyone. This year, the theme is ‘trust’ and how to know which sources are reliable and which sources cannot be trusted.

At Badminton, we are doing our best to educate all age groups, by giving assemblies and generally raising awareness throughout the Junior and Senior School. It is especially important to be aware of potential dangers online during this time of online learning.
