Non-GCSE – Online safety

Curriculum KS4 Unit

Resources

As most learners will already have some form of online presence and familiarity with online spaces, the purpose of this unit is for them to start thinking more critically about how they, and others, conduct themselves online. Learners will also be asked to discuss key debates around the online world, such as the extent of their right to privacy, and which powers should be granted to organisations and states. As much as possible, learners should be encouraged to develop their own ideas and opinions in order to become engaged citizens when it comes to online rights.
