In Term 2 of 2022-23 our year 7-10 engaged in the digital Safety Ambassadors programme delivered by Faith Associates. See below for more information about this programme.
What is the Digital Safety Ambassadors & Digital Citizens Programme?
The Muslim Digital Safety Ambassadors initiative is an interactive mentoring, technical and peer-led, classroom-based training programme that gives young Muslims the confidence to challenge hate, react positively and build resilience amongst peer groups. The training and support are provided online through a secure portal and in the classroom through face-to-face training.
This project is being supported by Google and the London Mayor’s Office and will conclude with a presentation ceremony in London to highlight and celebrate the work of our pupils in creating a productive, yet safe, online environment that future generations can benefit from.
The Muslim Digital Safety Ambassadors programme fits into the wider Health and Wellbeing part of the school curriculum, as it focuses on online safety, mental health, and safety of children. The programme focuses on empowering and encouraging peer to peer support which we have found to be the most impactful way of making a positive difference.
The Core Practice Areas of The Programme
- Introduction to Digital Citizenship
- Media Balance
