Build Digital Resilience with the Digital Proficiency Course
Equip your pupils, parents, and staff with the knowledge to navigate the online world safely. This video-based course covers the “5 C’s” of online risk:
Content, Contact, Conduct, Commerce, and Cyber Security.
With short, age-appropriate modules for all learners, gain actionable insights for your school community’s level of online safety knowledge.
Due to popular demand, the Digital Proficiency Course is now open until the end of the summer term. Don’t miss out, get involved now!
Decades ago, ‘Cycling Proficiency’ taught us to navigate the physical world safely; today, that ‘road’ has become digital. The Digital Proficiency Course is an age-appropriate, episodic video-based programme.
This certified course is free to access for parents, carers, pupils and school staff on the Safer Schools NI web and mobile app. The digital ‘road’ may have changed, but our collective commitment to safeguarding our children should always remain paramount.
I urge all schools and families to use these resources to educate, empower and protect our children and young people in the digital world.

The digital world is 24/7; it’s outside and inside of the school gates, so you need a service that does the same. Safer Schools NI is a digital library of age-appropriate safeguarding resources that you can check out anytime, from your phone to your computer to your classroom.
Your Safer Schools NI App and portal is a digital safeguarding communication toolkit helping you engage your entire school community. By providing school staff, parents, carers, and pupils with the information they need to know, when they need to know it, they will be better informed and protected together.
