Introducing the Year 1 online safety unit
This Computing scheme of work video supports teachers in delivering the Year 1 Online safety unit, helping pupils understand the internet and how to use it safely and responsibly.
Through practical lessons, children explore what to do if something online makes them feel worried, identify trusted adults and use role play to see how online content can affect emotions. Pupils learn to be kind online, understand digital footprints and reflect on balancing screen time with other activities. The unit addresses misconceptions about online strangers and friends, helping teachers guide pupils to use technology safely, respectfully and confidently.
