E-Safety for learners

The internet offers immense opportunities for learning, work, and social interaction. However, it also presents various risks, such as 'fake news' and extremism. While it is easy to feel secure online, extremists and individuals with malicious intentions often exploit this sense of safety. Below are several links to additional information that you may find useful for enhancing your knowledge and mitigating these risks:

  • Material promoting extremism: report online material promoting terrorism or extremism, illegal or harmful information, or pictures and videos you’ve found on the internet. You can make your report anonymously via the Home Office website.
  • Misinformation v disinformation: What’s the difference?
  • Fake news: four quick checks and tips on how to identify fake news.
  • UK Safer Internet Centre: where you can find online safety tips, advice and resources to help children and young people stay safe online
  • CEOP (Child Exploitation and Online Protection command): are you worried about online sexual abuse or the way someone has been communicating with you or others online? Report it via the CEOP website.
  • ActionFraud: Action Fraud is the UK’s national reporting centre for fraud and cybercrime where you should report fraud if you have been scammed, defrauded or experienced cybercrime in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
