Select the link below to the Get Safe Online Safety Quiz and use the quiz to build up your safeguarding knowledge. Once you have completed the quiz you may like to spend more time exploring the website Get Safe Online (http://www.getsafeonline.org).
Accessibility features include support for text only browsers, access keys to help you navigate around the site easily and style sheets that make it easier to make text larger or smaller.
The Get Safe Online website includes a beginner's guide to online safety but also covers some topics in much greater detail.
Why not include the Get Safe Online Quiz as part of the learner induction process. If you use a website, web space or virtual learning environment you could include a safeguarding block on the site home page.
