Today is Safer Internet Day, a day designated by the EU to focus on online safety.

As most of you will know, SQA produced the first national qualification in Europe on Internet safety, which has proven to be very popular in Scottish schools and colleges. Some schools offer the unit to every pupil in a year group (for example, Airdrie Academy offers it to every second year pupil) and some colleges (such as Aberdeen College) offer it as part of the National Certificate programmes. Some countries outside of Scotland also offer the award.

We recently revamped the Internet Safety webpage, where you will find more information on this award.
