The CCEA is a non-departmental public body (NDPB) funded by and responsible to the Department of Education (DE) in Northern Ireland and their website provides many different learning resources for pupils from Pre-School age (3-4) up to Post-16 in relation to this.
Below is an extract from their website:
Central to our curriculum is its aim to equip our young people to make informed and responsible choices and decisions throughout their lives, and we see eSafety as an important aspect of this. It’s not just about the technology, but also core concepts of personal safety, of showing respect for others and of critical discrimination.
Also, the Wellbeing Hub shows how the Northern Ireland Curriculum promotes the learning and development of skills that support pupils’ wellbeing and mental health. It also supports the Emotional Health and Wellbeing Framework for Children and Young People in Education that’s being developed collaboratively by the Departments of Education and Health, the Public Health Agency, the Health and Social Care Board, and the Education
Authority (EA).
E-safety for schools
The NSPCC learning website has a diverse range of resources to promote, raise awareness and educate teachers, children and parents about keeping children safe, but there is a specific area of the website for schools and colleges for teachers to teach specifically about online safety.

Our information and resources will help you to:
– create e-safety policies and procedures that will help you mitigate risk and respond to concerns
– ensure teachers have the knowledge to teach students about e-safety
– provide advice on using social media and live streaming
– support and include parents and carers by sharing helpful advice and resources
– review and update your e-safety provision on an ongoing basis.
