Guidance for educational settings in Wales

GwE would like to make you aware of new bilingual gudance for schools and other educational settings in Wales which has been recently published entitled:

Sexting: Responding to incidents and safeguarding – Guidance for educational settings in Wales.

This advice has been produced by the UK Council for Child Internet Safety (UKCCIS) Education Working Group in collaboration with the Welsh Government and the All Wales School Liaison Core Programme (AWSLCP). The guidance aims to support schools, colleges and other educational settings in developing procedures to respond to incidents involving youth produced sexual imagery. It also signposts to resources and sources of support . This advice is non-statutory and should be read alongside the Welsh Governments statutory guidance Keeping Learners Safe.

The advice has been produced on behalf of the UKCCIS – a group of more than 200 organisations from across government, industry, law, academia and charity sectors, working in partnership to help keep children safe online.
