answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2017 answer text <p>The new computing curriculum, introduced from September 2014, introduces pupils to aspects of cyber security from an early age. The curriculum introduces e-safety from Key Stage 1, reflecting the fact that children are increasingly accessing the internet from a young age. All maintained primary schools must follow this curriculum, and academies and free schools can use it as a benchmark.</p><p>The ‘Keeping children safe in education’ statutory guidance for schools sets out that governing bodies and proprietors should ensure children are taught about safeguarding, including online. In addition, schools are encouraged to make provision for personal social, health and economic education (PSHE) as part of their wider curriculum. High quality PSHE teaching has a vital role in preparing children for adulthood, including safe and respectful use of online technology.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 29/03/2017 14:17:08 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
