What is Safe?
Safe is a programme of practical activities that develop young people's skills, self-confidence and safety awareness when using social networking sites.
Designed to work on safe social networks, the free materials and teacher resources will enable a school to easily deliver fun activities, which develop their pupils’ digital literacy skills.
By completing the programme pupils gain a Safe Certificate as evidence of their learning.
Activities
There are two levels to complete and activities include setting up a safe profile, blogging and connecting online.
All Safe tasks are linked closely to the English Primary Curriculum & Scottish Excellence for Learning. The tasks are supported by teacher resources which include how-to guides, discussion topics and learning outcomes. Printed Safe Packs, DVDs and Parent Newsletters are available through Safe Membership.
Safe can be completed through VLE's or online platforms.
Radiowaves, the social media network for schools, is offering FREE websites and tools so that all schools can easily deliver Safe activities. Sign up!

Online World
Social networking and sharing content online are now an integral part of young people's lives. They provide many opportunities for them to develop creative and communication skills in ways that are relevant to them, in school or at home.
However, with these new opportunities come many new choices. How do we help children make positive and informed choices when creating and sharing online?
Safe aims to provide practical activities and a framework to help pupils develop as aware and active digital citizens.
