Online Safety in the Oak Field Curriculum

At Oak Field, we recognise that being safe online is paramount for our children. As part of the Technology curriculum, children complete an Online Relationships unit every year. This is taught primarily through RSE and PSED sessions that focus on building, developing and maintaining safe relationships. In addition, we think about who our trusted people are both inside and outside of school; stranger danger, risks and appropriate social behaviours.

An example of our curriculum is below:

What is the outcome?	How do the children learn this?
That people sometimes behave differently online, including by pretending to be someone they are not.
