  • Online safety

Description

This unit teaches pupils about assessing trustworthiness online, understanding different types of internet users, recognising risks with strangers, responding safely to unknown people and communicating safely online. Pupils develop critical thinking to evaluate who to trust and when to seek help.

In Year 4, pupils may increasingly engage with online communities through games and messaging. Building on previous online safety learning, this unit extends to evaluating the trustworthiness of people online and navigating online relationships safely. This is timely as pupils face complex online interactions and may encounter strangers or deceptive people. By exploring these concepts now, pupils develop critical thinking skills to assess who to trust online, recognise warning signs, apply offline safety principles online, and seek help when needed.

  1. Understanding who uses the internet
  2. Understanding who we can interact with online
  3. Communicating online safely
