Key Curriculum Focus
This primary computing resource supports the national curriculum by helping children:
- Identify safe adults they can talk to about online concerns
- Recognise when to speak up about something seen on the internet
- Understand how to protect themselves through trusted communication
Displaying these internet safety: people to tell posters in your classroom or computing space reinforces key safeguarding messages and helps younger learners build the habit of seeking support when needed. They act as ongoing visual prompts during computing lessons and digital activities.
Online Safety in Primary Computing
Online safety involves knowing how to behave responsibly and seek help when needed. For example, if a child sees a message that feels strange or scary, they should know who to tell straight away. In primary computing, pupils learn that online safety isn’t just about technology—it’s about making the right choices and trusting adults who can help them navigate difficult situations. These posters play a key role in promoting those values.
Activity Idea: Create Your Own Poster
Ask learners to draw or write about someone they trust whom they could talk to if something online made them feel uncomfortable. Let them share their posters with the class, then link back to the display. This encourages pupils to personalise their learning and think actively about support networks.
