Becta - Safeguarding Children in a Digital World

This document is a reference work that is used by Local Authorities to support the formation of policies on esafety.
This is what the chief executive of Becta has to say about responsibility:

I am delighted to launch this e-safety strategy toolkit on behalf of Becta, to
coincide with our second conference – Safeguarding Children in a Digital World.
We all have a responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of children,
and that responsibility must apply to the online world which is such an important
part of the everyday life of children and young people.
