INEQE Safeguarding Group, a prominent authority in child protection and digital safety, is proud to unveil The Online Safety Show, an interactive and educational programme poised to equip and empower children and young individuals with essential knowledge about online safety. This pioneering initiative, crafted in partnership with INEQE and Safer Schools, aspires to educate, inspire, and safeguard the next generation in the digital era.

The Online Safety Show will deliver a monthly digest of current news stories from the digital world, presented in an age-appropriate manner. The debut episode delves into topics such as online trends and challenges, TikTok and its influence on the news, the role of AI, and the so-called mobile phone ban in schools and colleges.

As well as being accessible to all users of the unique Safer Schools suite of apps and INEQE Safeguarding Group’s partner platforms, the show will be readily available on our web-based Teach Hub platform, ensuring convenient access for educators to seamlessly integrate the programme into their classrooms or assemblies through smart boards.

As we prepare for the launch of the inaugural episode, Colin Stitt, Head of Safer Schools at INEQE Safeguarding Group, shared his enthusiasm, noting,

At its core The Online Safety Show is committed to fair and balanced reporting, expert insights, and providing children and young people with a platform to express their concerns and perspectives on online safety. The show’s mission is to sow the seeds of safety in the minds of young audiences, educating them about the benefits and risks of technology in their digital world, enabling them to make safer decisions and nurture positive digital citizenship.

This innovative and unique educational show promises to be an invaluable resource for educators and parents, equipping them with the tools to guide the younger generation in navigating the online landscape safely and responsibly.
