With the summer break now upon us, we are looking back at a fantastic term marked by the successful rollout of our new Digital Proficiency Course. We have been incredibly inspired by the dedication of schools across Northern Ireland in championing online safety.

Ahead of the holidays, our team hit the road to visit several local schools, officially awarding them their Safer Schools Certified Status. Seeing the enthusiasm from both staff and pupils was an absolute highlight for us, and we are so proud of what these communities have achieved.

We want to extend a huge thank you to every single school that participated and gave it their best effort. If you are still working toward your certification, don’t worry your school’s progress is safely locked in and will carry over directly into the new term. You will be in a fantastic position to achieve your official certified status as soon as the new school year begins. The course will not be closing so you can continue achieving results to gain your certified status too over the summer or as soon as you start back in the new term.
