All pupils will have access to age-appropriate information, advice and guidance about how to keep themselves safe online. From how to set strong passwords on their devices, setting privacy settings on their favourite social media or gaming platform to understanding healthy relationships and learning how to cope with exam pressure, the Safer Schools App can offer them an extensive amount of guidance and support.

The Online Safety Help section of their App will provide them with means to support if they or someone they know is being bullied, if they are struggling with mental health issues, if they lose control of an image and more.

Students can use the Safer Schools NI app to build up their levels of online competence by participating in the Pupils Online Proficiency Tests and there’s plenty of fun and interactive quizzes!
