Webwise is the online safety initiative of the Department of Education and co-funded by the European Commission. Webwise promotes safer, better internet use through awareness-raising and education initiatives targeting teachers, children, young people and parents/guardians.
Webwise carries out the following work:
- promotes safer, better internet use through awareness raising and education initiatives targeting teachers, children, young people and parents/guardians
- develops and disseminates resources that help teachers integrate digital citizenship and online safety into teaching and learning in their schools
- provides information, advice and tools to parents/guardians to support their engagement in their children’s online lives.
With the help of the Webwise Youth Advisory Panel, Webwise also develops youth-oriented awareness-raising resources and training programmes that promote digital citizenship and address topics such as online wellbeing and cyberbullying.
