Suggested Method of Delivery
Students at Key stage 4 told us clearly that they were completely switched off by re-hearing the same eSafety messages. They
want to discuss real life current issues. Probably your best resource will be the newspapers and TV.
If they have not been used earlier some of the Key Stage 3 topics could be used however we have linked to a number of resources
below.
What is taught needs to be fresh and current.
