New school resources for teachers

The ICO has produced a suite of school resources for teachers to use when discussing privacy issues and the value of personal data. The lesson plans cover what counts as personal data, why it’s valuable and how to keep it safe when using social media. The resources are free to download and use. There is also a set of worksheets for each PowerPoint to facilitate discussion.

They have added a set of lesson plans specifically on the Children’s Code, which is a set of rules designed to make the internet a safer place for children to learn explore and play. ​It requires organisations to put the best interests of the child first when they are designing and developing apps, games, connected toys and websites that are likely to be accessed by
young people.
There are specific programmes that can be used for both Primary and Secondary schools.  Teachers can use these to help children identify where they can go to for support, including what they should do if they suspect an app, game or website is misusing their data or not conforming to the Children’s code.
