Reception for the Rollout of Childnet Digital Leaders Programme

Today, 21 February, I attended a reception in Parliament and met Digital Leaders from Childnet International and Anti-Bullying Ambassadors from The Diana Award who told me about their efforts to eliminate bullying and promote digital citizenship online and offline.

I also talked to Facebook about steps they are taking to keep young people safe online and the roll-out of a major programme to offer every UK secondary school dedicated digital safety ambassadors.  The ambassadors are young people trained to provide peer-to-peer support and online safety initiatives in secondary schools.

Shools who don't yet have a Digital Leader or Anti Bullying Ambassador can register their interest in the programmes at www.childnet.com/digital-leaders or www.antibullyingpro.com
