<p>We take the protection of individuals' personal data both online and offline, seriously.
The Information Commissioner is the UK's independent authority responsible for administering
and enforcing information rights and provides guidance and advice to individuals and
organisations on, among other things, the protection of personal data online. The
ICO has produced guidance on online safety on its website available at: <a href="https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/online/social-networking/"

</p><p>As part of the new computing curriculum introduced in 2014 pupils are taught
how to use technology safely and respectfully, how to keep personal information private,
recognise inappropriate content and behaviour, and where to go for help if they have
any concerns about online content or contact.</p><p>The Government's National Cyber
Security Strategy (2016-2021, https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-cyber-security-strategy-2016-to-2021),
backed with £1.9 billion investment, funds the Cyber Aware campaign. Cyber Aware is
a cross-government awareness and behaviour change campaign which works with a range
of public and private sector partners to encourage the public (and Small and Medium
Enterprises) to adopt more secure online behaviour like using a strong separate password
for your email account and downloading the latest software updates.</p><p> </p><p><strong>
