Description:

New technologies are central to modern life.

They...

  • enable people across the world to have instant communication with one another;
  • allow for the rapid retrieval and collation of information from a wide range of sources;
  • provide a powerful stimulus for creativity; and
  • allow people to discuss sensitive topics which, face to face, they might find difficult.

However, these technologies are also potentially damaging...

  • They can give access to harmful and inappropriate materials and, because of the anonymity offered, vulnerable individuals may be harmed or exploited.

The Government commissioned a number of studies into the risks that learners face when using the internet and video games. The reports recognised the advantages of new technologies and the ease and confidence with which children, young people and adult learners use them.

At the same time, the reports emphasised that

"children, young people and adult learners do not always have the knowledge, skills and understanding to keep themselves safe."
This resource looks at safeguarding, the common inspection framework and provides tools and resources that can be used by learning providers.
