help schools and other groups harness the power of youth voice and make
online safety learning fun and effective. The Childnet Digital Leaders
Programme offers young people access to an exciting online community,
where they will access training and support from Childnet’s expert team
and record achievements and progress. They will also have the
opportunity to collaborate and share inspiration with young Digital
Leaders across the UK. The programme will also give young people
opportunities to engage with leading technology companies and have a say
in creating a better internet for the future.
The
digital leaders have so far helped with a Year 5 coding event from
local primary schools. Created posters about online safety and made a
presentation for a Year 9 assembly for safer internet day.
Two
of our students have also successfully applied for and become digital
champions. For this role they have completed work for Childnet, for
example helped with a consultation for Ofcom. They also went to London
for safer internet day in February, talking to MPs at the house of
commons and also giving a talk at BT tower to people from industry and
other organisations about safer internet day.
