The guidance can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/relationships-education-relationships-and-sex-education-rse-and-health-education<\/a>.<\/p> <\/p> This will complement the computing curriculum, which covers the principles of online safety at all key stages, with progression in the content to reflect the different and escalating risks that pupils face. This includes how to use technology safely, responsibly, respectfully and securely, and where to go for help and support when they have concerns about content or contact on the internet or other online technologies.<\/p> There are other curriculum subjects which include content relevant to teaching pupils how to use the internet safely. For example, citizenship education covers media literacy, distinguishing fact from opinion, and the role and responsibility of the media in informing and shaping public opinion.<\/p>
