New plans unveiled on the 22nd December by the DfE have been released in order to help schools keep children safe online.

Under the recently published proposals, all schools have a requirement to filter inappropriate content and to teach pupils about how to stay safe online, both at school and at home. The strengthened measures that will be put in place will prevent harm to children from cyber bullying, pornography and the risk of radicalisation. Whilst the internet plays an important role in students education it can also bring significant risks.
