Now, more than ever, we believe it is important for children to be aware of how to be safe and resilient online. At Barnardos, our vision is that children reach their potential and have happy, healthy and safe lives, both offline and online. Going forward, we are happy to offer our online safety workshops either face to face or virtually.

Since September 2019, with support from Google.org, we are rolling out a 5 year online safety programme across the country, with the aim of reaching 1,000 schools and 82,000 students overall. As part of this Barnardos/Google partnership, we signpost to Be Internet Legends, a free multifaceted programme designed to teach younger children (age 7-11 year olds) about online safety. Google´s Family Hub site - is a one-stop resource for children and parents with all of Google's programmes and materials that support online safety and wellbeing. These include family guides for parents and lesson plans for teachers which can be used as a ‘before’ or ‘after’ the Barnardos online safety workshops. Google´s Safety Centre provides guidance on specific privacy and safety settings.
