10. SUMMARY OF IMPACT OF SAFE
Safe had most impact on Y3s, who reported an overall increase in knowledge
of safe online behaviours, particularly writing blogs and uploading images
and text safely.
Safe had less impact on Y6s with the exceptions of safe researching and
copyright, however their knowledge of safe online behaviour was already
high and the teachers used the Safe resource more to reinforce their
knowledge.
Staff were also asked to rate the students’ online safety knowledge after the
Safe resources were delivered; these were compared with the students’
ratings. Teachers overestimated some aspects (e.g. Y3s safe use of SNS;
passwords) whilst underestimating others (e.g. Y6s researching online;
knowledge of copyright).
IMPLICATIONS: Schools need to introduce e-safety even earlier to younger
children, acknowledging that some children will access age-inappropriate
social networks.
