    • On 2 February 2021 we were delighted to host our annual Online Safety conference, this year virtually. Thinking back to last year when the keynote at our centre was on the theme of being fearless with digital learning it was illuminating to reflect on the many changes since that time necessitated by the crisis. As well as highlighting the themes of some of the sessions within the conference, this blog contains links to many key resources for online safety, as well as for the associated areas of well-being and digital critical literacy and news literacy.
